8 Killed, Over 10 Injured In Fresh Plateau, Foron District Village Invasion by Cutezt(op): 12:30pm On Jun 01
Tragedy has once again struck Plateau State as an armed invasion by suspected Fulani terrorist gangs left a trail of death and critical injuries in Gwom-Ajang village, located in the Foron District of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area.

The late-night assault occurred at approximately 9:30 PM on Sunday, May 31, 2026, in the remote village situated about 15 miles southwest of Jos, the Plateau State capital. According to local sources, the attack specifically targeted a women’s gathering happening in the community.

Initial reports on the casualty count vary slightly between local witnesses and community leadership, placing the death toll between seven and eight people.

Local residents and eyewitnesses reported that the terrorists descended on the village suddenly, opening fire indiscriminately on the gathering. According to witnesses, the attackers spoke the Fulani language and were heard shouting "Allahu’Akbar" as they unleashed violence on the unsuspecting women and bystanders.

An official statement released shortly after the incident by Rwang Tengwong, the National Publicity Secretary of the Berom Youths Moulder-Association (BYM), condemned the bloody raid:

"At least 8 persons have been reportedly killed in another armed invasion perpetrated by terrorist gangs of Fulani at about 9:30pm or thereabout of 31st May, 2026 in Gwon-Ajang village of Foron District, Barkin Ladi LGA," the statement read.

In the immediate aftermath of the gunfire, community members scrambled to assist the survivors. More than ten individuals sustained severe, life-threatening injuries during the attack.

The victims are currently being rushed to nearby medical facilities for urgent clinical attention. The atmosphere in Foron District remains incredibly tense as families await news on the condition of those hospitalized.

This latest incident adds to a troubling pattern of targeted violence in the Barkin Ladi axis, raising fresh anxieties regarding the security of rural communities in central Nigeria. Local leadership and youth groups have repeatedly called for stronger security interventions to safeguard vulnerable populations.

The Berom Youths Moulder-Association has indicated that they are closely monitoring the situation as it unfolds.

"More details would be furnished in due time," Tengwong assured.

No official statement has been released yet by the Plateau State Police Command or the military task force, Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), regarding arrests or containment measures.

What exactly is their gain in taking the lives of the innocent and the poor?

Is this about land grabbing or they want the nation in their palms?

What exactly are they smoking that makes their skull empty?

Tinubu diverted Trump's attention to ISIS in the lake chad so that Nigerian fulani in the middle belt can continue their carnage.

He did not allow Trump touch his masters.

Tinubu master strategist enabling jihad with all his power

A- country full of masses killing themselves to support their oppressors
A- country full of agony and pain 🤢😷🥵😢
A- country were sucking of blood is a norm
A- country were ordinary citizens cannot sleep in peace
A- country were ordinary citizens can be tracked down within a minute if he/she posted anything that's against the government, but bandit and terrorist's are being pampered upon displaying/showing themselves online.

All the Northern and Southern governors that could not tackle insecurity in their states don't deserve to be re-elected. They've failed woefully like Tinubu.

I have been saying this since.

No one is coming to help you. Instead of running and still getting killed, stand and fight. You stand a higher chance of not only surviving but also handing these animals heavy casualties. When they lose members when they go to a place, they will think twice before going back there again.

If you run, you die. Better to die putting up a brave fight.

Very fvcked up country with its fvcked up leaders who are solely concerned about their political ambition than making any significant impact.

Incompetence in governance became worse during APC tenure.

This is the truth that we are not willing to admit.

So your DSS that can trace you when you post or make any comment on Tinubu cannot touch the Politicians sponsoring the killings.

The funniest part of it is that bandits are not even hiding. They have camps and are being protected by Tinubu himself because of northern votes.

'This Experience Will Not Repeat Itself', Tinubu Assures Victims Of Jos Killings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-e4yDIUsmQ


00:00
Please be seated. Eh, you have no light at the airport and I have to fly back within the next 10 minutes. To you leaders, I've had this. To the victim, there is nothing I can give you whether money in billions but console you and promise you that this experience will not repeat itself. I take uh for example Favor Roda. I know the pain. I see how on the video you head on to Ayuba and the pain and agony in your heart. But it is only God. It's only God [clears throat] who can give you joy and comfort. No amount of money can pay all of you back. Yes, as government, we will try our best to comfort you, to walk with you. The best solution is for Jos to be just the one that people like us grew up to know.


02:19
Please have your seat. I salute all of you leaders, but I've had the experience of the past. Why is the past not a source of lesson for us? I've listened to Jang. I've listened to Washington. I've listened to Nacho (omo AI Nacho ke cheesy, you need to always verify things yourself, that's why I left this bomb in the post, don't depend on people to do everything for you, trust but verify). I've listened to the governor. Governor, you and I were elected on a promise of peace and prosperity, not to comfort and create widows and widowers. To bring prosperity as a promise, to bring inclusiveness as a government, to share the hope and aspiration of everyone to lead our youths and if they are represented here, let me give this assurance. I don't want to be here commenurating and consoling.


04:41
I want to be here to establish peace. leaders who have received us, who had accommodated us politically. I brought the symbol of this cap to break the shackle. Shackle of violence, shackle of ignorance, shackle of poverty, shackle of hopelessness. We must break it together. I thank the men and women of the armed forces particularly the police for what they are doing and what they about to do. You must on earth and find the killers. I'm glad I here. I'm glad COAS is here too. Chief of Army Staff. I'm glad the minister of defense is here. Our dear leaders, I have been to Jos, I have enjoyed Jos in those days of peace.

06:30
We've had our political activities here. I'm glad you are still alive. We thank God for you and many of you. Thank you. I used to point to your house where we spend the night where the leaders both the leaders of our politics, where I was active as a young man. You accommodated us. You open your doors for us. Then why do we build a division? Our promise then was progressive development, improve standard of living for our people. Not to bury but to develop. Immediately we return to Abuja. The committee has mentioned you increased the number of leaders including Natawi, the governor and the minister of humanitarian affairs.


08:01
The minister, thank you. Come see me. Take numeric analysis. You are a data person. For the victims, let's see what we can do for their losses. We cannot replace a human beings. But whatever we do to give them minimum comfort, we will. Thank you Bosani the honorable minister for communication is here to give you assurance we are going to install immediately a network of camera >> [applause] >> That will help the law enforcement agencies to identify the troublemakers instantly. [applause] over 5,000 job network Bosun you can use time and give the assurance because the time is flying, if I keep talking, we will miss our way and you don't have accommodation for us>> [applause] [cheering]



Do I have updated comments? Yes. The first and last part of the report is to create a sensational response. This is why I had to go listen myself just in case they were trying to bait rage even though I no send this President. I have no hope in them, renewed or otherwise.

Now to my analysis, Nigerians are sycophants. People are clapping and laughing when others just lost their lives. People are enamored by the presence of the president that they laughed. Now, these may be rented people (the clappers) or supporters but I didn't know why they clapped. It's a sober session. I have observed this pattern when people in offices talk, Nigerians clap. I call it the sycophanticlap. It's eye service and we know about it. What else? The president was in a hurry but the first and last sentence can be used against him. Jos has no accommodation for the President? I beg to differ.

His speech wasn't as bad as it was reported but I still see insensitivity in it. I don't know who his advisers were but I can see other videos of the President in Lagos, which means Lagos was more important for him to be in than Jos. I also remember Bayo Onanuga had released a statement earlier in the day that the president had to abort his trip to Ogun State for this. That one too sounded like Tinubu was doing Plateau a favor by visiting them. Post event analysts will say that he could have said things better. That closing line is not appropriate and we play too much in this country. Someone on the comment section said this was how he promised in a previous incident that never again will this happen but it will still happen again cry

The president was also pointing to his cap as a symbol of breaking the shackle. Omo! I have no comment.

Imagine if the president canceled his other trips to spend time with people of Jos in this period, at least for Good Friday undecided If Jos used to welcome him in the past, what happened to the present?
"We've had our political activities here. I'm glad you are still alive. We thank God for you and many of you. Thank you. I used to point to your house where we spend the night where the leaders both the leaders of our politics, where I was active as a young man. You accommodated us. You open your doors for us. Then why do we build a division?"

Those who play politics with everything, hmmm may you not lose your loved ones like the people of Jos did. Then you will be more reasonable with your response and not careless. That laughter at the end was evil to me. Very insensitive of our people. Very very insensitive to those who were there.

In 2 weeks? Because he's the one that put the problem in place?

You'd better stop dishing out empty promises.

How will these killings stop when President Tinubu has become deaf to public outcry and refuses to sack his NSA who has publicly called these terrorists his brothers?

How will the killings stop when President Tinubu refuses to create state police to bridge the huge policing gaps in the country but rather chooses to blame state governors who don't have any authority to plan and execute security strategies without getting approval from Abuja first?

All these fake imported religions have destroyed the normal mental processes of a lot of our people.

If you are following any of the two religion, you should know for fact that:

There is no heaven, there is no hell, there is no God (or god), there is no Allah, there are no angels, there are no demons, there are no spirits, there is no life after death, juju don't work, there is no eternal judgment, there is no karma, there was no historical Jesus. All those are figment of human imaginations and tools use by a very few some to control the very many others. The earlier you understand and accept these facts as facts, the happier and merrier your life and existence will be.

The religion you're currently claiming is the religion of your parents, if you were born into a different family of another religion (say Hinduism), that is the exact religion you will practice.

You were born without a religion in you, your factory reset has no religion in it. If you were to be a phone and they do factory reset on you today being a phone, there will not be anything found related to religion in your settings, files and file systems anymore; you learn religion only after your birth growing up.


Islam is idolatry and paganism, Christianity aswell is idolatry - All the world religion is idolatry, including all the Abrahamic religion. Holy communion is idolatory, bowing for a stone call Kaaba of the Bedouin tribes is also idolatory, killing of rams is idolatory, kissing or licking of a stone at mecca is idolatory, throwing of stone at pilgrimage is idolatory too.

Infact, Illah is what the Arabic call God and not Allah. Allah was one of the diety been worshiped before the invention of Islam. That is why muslims will say something like "la ilah ila huwa" meaning Allah is one Illah (God). Have you ask yourself why Prophet Mohammed's father who was an idol worshiper and who lived before the invention of islam has Allah in is name Abdullai== Abdu Allah? It is because Allah has been an idol worshiped by paganists before the Prophet received his revelations.

Nakedly circumambulations of the Kaaba, annual prigrimage to mecca, kissing of black stone, bowing towards the stone (stone worship) are all preislamic pagan practises by the nomadic Bedouin tribe and the same is what they still practice today.

All Abrahamic religion are idolatory, they only package them well and condemn your heritage as evil, whereas, Nigeria was better in terms of morality, honesty and integrity before they brought the foreign religions.

In peace loving, emotional intelligence, love for neighbors, respect for sanctity of life, we are even better than those who brought those religion with primitive leaders and prophets whose morality and characters are highly questionable.


Release yourself today from the shackles of religion. Stop wasting away your life and existence!

If you like, allow one illiterate alfa, imam or pastor to keep telling you "you will go to hell". When you die, your dead experience will be like the same experience you had before your conception (pregnancy) ie. There is nothing like afterlife. Or where were you before your mother gave birth to you?

Anyone supporting Tinubu at this very time is just a mad person.
Tinubu is a living dead. He doesn't even know what he says anymore. He embarrassingly talks like a lunatic.
In Tinubu's mental and physical state now, his family and friends should plead with him to resign and take complete rest for his good.
Nigeria is not his property.
He should resign. Before he's disgraced out of office somehow.
