About two people have been killed in an attack in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The attackers invaded the community around 8pm on Monday, killing one Pa Pam Yakubu and his friend Pam Chungyang, according to reports.
The incident occurred days after assailants killed at least six people in separate attacks in some communities in Riyom.
Youth Leader, Riyom ward, Dalyop Ezekiel, who confirmed the attack, said it was concerning. He appealed to the government and security agencies to fish out and bring the criminals to justice.
Chairman Riyom Local Government Council, Mafeng Gwallson, also told newsmen that he was saddened by the rising wave of killings across communities in the Local Government Area by people who are bent on creating crisis among residents.
He called on security agencies to take action and arrest the ugly situation.
The Chairman who was represented at the burial by his Deputy, Elisha Yakubu, later paid condolence visits to bereaved families.
