Suspected members of a militia group have killed four cows in Plateau State, in the latest incident to hit the troubled north-central Nigerian state.
The attack, reported on Sunday, October 11, 2026, targeted livestock in what appears to be a continuation of tensions between farming and herding communities in the region.
Details of the incident, including the exact location and the identity of the victims, were not immediately clear. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and no arrests have been reported.
Plateau State has experienced recurring violence in recent years, often linked to disputes over land, grazing rights, and ethnic divisions. Security forces have struggled to contain the unrest, which has displaced thousands and cost numerous lives.
Local authorities have yet to issue a formal statement on the incident. Residents in affected areas have called for increased security presence and protection for livestock owners.
This is a developing story. More information will be provided as it becomes available.
