The Plateau State Government has arraigned five suspects over the March 2026 killings in Angwa-Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area.
According to observatoryng.org, the suspects were arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) between April 3 and April 10, 2026.
Those charged include Isa Umar Ibrahim, Auwalu Abubakar (aka Auwalu Dogo), and Musa Abubakar Ibrahim (aka Yaroro), who are facing charges of criminal conspiracy to commit terrorism and related offences.
Another defendant, Adamu Isa Alhassan, is charged with criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide, illegal possession of firearms, and unlawful dealing in arms and ammunition.
The State Attorney General, Philemon Audu Daffi, said the offences are “contrary to Section 269 and punishable under Section 270 of the Penal Code Law of Plateau State, 2017.”
The latest development follows earlier attacks in the state. On March 28, 2025, at least 30 people, including children, were killed when suspected herders attacked communities in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas. #Securitynewsalert.com
