Few weeks after President Bola Tinubu visited Plateau State and promised justice for victims of serial attacks, the State Government on Friday filed charges against five suspects arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) in connection with the March 2026 killings of several persons in Angwa- Rukuba, Jos North LGA of the state.

The government filed charges of
criminal conspiracy to commit terrorism and other related offences against the quartet of Isa Umar Ibrahim, Auwalu Abubakar aka Auwalu Dogo, and Musa Abubakar Ibrahim aka Yaroro.

On his part, Adamu Isa Alhassan, who is one of the five defendants, was charged with criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide, illegal possession of firearms, and illegally dealing in arms and ammunition. They were arrested between April 3 and April 10, 2026.

The State Attorney General, Philemon Audu Daffi, who filed the charges, said the actions of the four men were "contrary to Section 269 and Punishable under Section 270 of the Penal Code Law of Plateau State, 2017."

The particulars of offence read, "That you, Isa Umar Ibrahim, Musa Abubakar Ibrahim of Riyom Local Government Area, Auwalu Abubakar (A.K.A Auwalu Dogo) of Jos North Local Government Area, Musa Abubakar Ibrahim (A.K.A Yaroro) of Jos North Local Government Areas of Plateau State; and one Ado Ibrahim (Now at Large) of Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, on the 28th day of March, 2025 at Farin Gada, Jos North Local Government Area, did conspire amongst yourselves to commit offences relating to terrorism when you planned, organized, facilitated, aided, and contributed money to carry out the attack in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State within the Jurisdiction of this Honourable Court; you thereby committed the above offence.

"That you, Isa Umar Ibrahim, Musa Abubakar Ibrahim of Riyom Local Government Area, Auwalu Abubakar (A.K.A Auwalu Dogo) of Jos North Local Government Area, Musa Abubakar Ibrahim (A.K.A Yaroro) of Jos North Local Government Areas of Plateau State; and one Ado Ibrahim (Now at Large) of Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, on the 28th day of March, 2025 at Farin Gada, Jos North Local Government Area, did commit the offence of terrorism when you planned, organized, facilitated, aided, contributed and received money to carry out an attack in Angwan Rukuba, which led to the death of over thirty (30) people in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State within the Jurisdiction of this Honourable Court."

Part of the particulars of Alhassan's offence read, "That you Adamu Isah Alhassan together with one Ibrahim Musa (Now at Large), Imarana Sa’idu (Now at Large), Yusuf Sa’idu (Now at Large) Aliyu Usaini (Now at Large), Yahuza Adamu (Now at Large), Mubarak Yunusa (Now at Large), Yakubu, whose surname is unknown (Now at Large) and others also at large between the months of January to December, 2025 and in January, 2026 at Gwang, Rin Ward, Bachit and Bangai Villages of Riyom Local Government Area and Vom in Jos South Local Government Areas of Plateau State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did commit an illegal act to wit: Culpable Homicide Punishable with Death, when you armed yourselves with guns, attacked and killed the residents of Gwang, Rin Ward, Bachit and Bangai Villages of Riyom Local Government Area and Vom in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State, and you thereby committed the above offence."

Recall that, on Friday March 28, 2025, no fewer than 30 persons including children were killed after suspected herders attacked some communities in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas and their environs, of the State.
Following the killings, many called for the cancellation of a state-,organized programme,"Experience Plateau, Arts Meets Fashion."

Brushing aside the calls, Governor Caleb Mutfwang said cancelling the event would satisfy the agenda of the attackers.
Remarked the governor, "Last week, Bokkos Local Government Area came under renewed attack by murderers who are desperate to break our spirit.

"Many advised that we suspend this function, but we realized that these attackers intend to keep us in perpetual mourning, to force us indoors, and to shackle our collective spirit.

“But I said no! Life must go on. Plateau must move forward by the grace of God. The genocide on the Plateau will come to an end. What is happening is not a farmer-herder conflict. Let me be clear: it is genocide, and I urge the international community to take note," declared the governor.

During the President's visit early this month, he met with victims of the attacks, assessed the damage, and promised justice for those who suffered losses.
“We are optimistic that ongoing interventions will help restore lasting peace,” assured the President, even as he charged citizens of the state to be vigilant.

Useless jokers. Always arresting the culpits. Useless government.

When you are done acting this film, please release them back to the public. You can't arrest the owners of Nigeria. Thanks for your cooperation

Thunder fire Seyi Law the failed comedian, and Reno Omokiri the useless he-goat.

All of the remaining blood suckers should be arrested and killed or sentence to life imprisonment without food, water 💧 or oxygen.

Cowards... Why did they run after committing the crime
The long arm of justice will meet up with them.

If Gaza is not a genocide with amount of people murdered there, over 60,000 and entire nation destroyed........is this one now a genocide? Just asking....

What's our business with Gaza? You can move their if that's where your concern is abi you don't know your way to Israel? Oh, so you guys are now taking revenge on Nigerian Christians because Israel is dealing with terrorists in Gaza? Hand go soon touch you.
You see these ones? They'll receive speedy trial and hanged publicly.

do you know the amount of Nigerians that have been killed in the last 10 years in the middle belt by unprovoked terroris, like what Hama's did charity begins at home. Is the life of anyone less valuable or we should leave our immediate problems and cover our eyes by Gaza's

Genocide is real in Nigeria, but christain genocide is even more real in today's Nigeria .

They will and they should receive the ultimate penalty. Same with Satanyahoo and his cohorts. Their crimes are same. We can't enable, deny justice, obstruct and hail murders cos they satisfy our biases cum ethno religious sentiments, but when same injustice and murders happens to us, boom we want to see justice and law in action. We need to change the way we think. That's my point. I don't support the killings in Jos, or anywhere terrorism happens in the world.

Palestinians are being killed without provocation too. What do you call it when you accommodate a people in crisis and they turn around to take your land, country, home and deny you rights and freedom. Isn't that enough for provocation?

They will release all of them and may even pay them for damages.

I wonder how Nigerians keep believing politicians lies no dey tire una ?

Where are the 40 senior lawyers who are used to marching out to defend these types of things?

I guess they are tired.

Honestly it annoys me to see people always commenting and complaining about things going on in the far middle East and yet the same thing is happening under your nose but you turned blind eyes. You fail to acknowledge that people are dying in numbers everyday by day here in Nigeria but quick to cry out that a certain country is invading or bombing the other one.

Always in a hurry to defend the crooks in the name of politicians and their criminal platforms they call political parties.

Where are the pictures of the culprits, where are their sponsors? I no dey believe anything coming out from the government, no valid evidence, then I have no reasons to believe. Clueless government officials.

These ones have been arrested, and that's the only thing the true Nigerians care about. When and if you're able to arrest Israeli prime Minister (I'll not repeat that name with you because you sons of perdition don't know the meaning of Yahu that suffice his name. I imagine someone calling an Abdullah, satanlah. You see how you guys don't have regards for other people's religions but want people to treat yours with respect? That name you're disrespecting will ruin your entire life. I'll not advise you to stop.) you can do whatever you like with him.

Good.

Law should take its course

Focus on the topic. That's his nickname the world over. I guess the evil he does can only be outdone by Satan himself. Those who gave him knows why they gave him. Let's focus.

He finally agreed it is genocide...

Moreover "...and received money to carry out an attack in Angwan Rukuba, which led to the death of over thirty (30) people
From who...

Why are their sponsors not being arrested?

If you don't go after the sponsors,

You can't win the war against terrorism; that is if the government is being serious about fighting terrorism.

Jihad and Genocide has been the foundation of every terrorism in the country.

Go after their sponsors too. Why are Muslims the only one agreeing to be used for such foolish acts in Nigeria?

Like I said, you'll get what you're looking for with that name you're joking with.
