An 86-year-old man named Joshua Deme was tragically killed on his farm in Rahwol Gassa, Barkin Ladi, Plateau State. He was attacked by armed individuals who were fleeing after causing destruction to farmlands in the area.
Joshua Deme was tied to a tree and killed by these attackers while he was transplanting his Hot Pepper. This incident highlights the ongoing issue of open grazing leading to conflict and violence.
The Berom Youths Moulders-Association (BYM) strongly condemns the killing and urges security forces, especially Sector 4 Operation Safe Haven, to continue their efforts against such terrorist activities. Operation Safe Haven has arrested five individuals suspected to be involved in the incident.
