Gunmen in NDLEA Uniforms Kill 10 in Plateau Community Attack

At least 10 people have been killed, and several others injured after heavily gunmen invaded the Angwan Rukuba community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State on Sunday. The attack occurred around 8 pm when over 20 gunmen, reportedly dressed in National Drug Law Enforcement Agency uniforms, stormed Gari Yawaye, a suburb within the area, and began shooting sporadically. Residents said security operatives arrived nearly an hour after the attackers had fled. The community is home to several staff and students of the University of Jos.

Key Points:

The attackers, numbering over 20, were dressed in NDLEA uniforms and arrived on motorcycles.
Four victims were reportedly killed inside a shop after the gunmen bought items before opening fire.
Security operatives arrived approximately one hour after the attackers had fled.
The community is home to many University of Jos staff and students.
Police and military spokespersons could not be reached for comment.

As Plateau State mourns yet another deadly attack, the use of NDLEA uniforms by the assailants raises serious concerns about security impersonation and the vulnerability of communities despite ongoing military operations.
