The Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM) has strongly condemned the killing of two Berom youths at Kyeng village in Bachi District of Riyom Local Government Area, Plateau State.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Rwang Tengwong, the association said the incident occurred on Sunday, May 10, 2026, when armed Fulani terrorists allegedly ambushed the victims and opened fire on them.
The victims were identified as Peter Dung, 22, and Amos Bele Danbwarang, 19. They were reportedly shot dead at about 7:20 p.m. before the attackers fled into nearby bushes.
BYM described the attack as barbaric, inhuman, and part of the continuing violence against innocent native communities in Plateau State.
“The killing of these young men is painful and unacceptable. It reflects the continued assaults on peaceful communities and innocent residents,” the association stated.
The group called on security agencies to immediately pursue the perpetrators, arrest them, and ensure that justice is served.
BYM also urged government at all levels to take firm and decisive measures to end the persistent killings and insecurity affecting Plateau communities.
The association extended its condolences to the families of the deceased and the people of Bachi District, praying for comfort and strength in their time of grief.
