Three men working at a mining site in the Jamus area of Kazok villages, Gashish District, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State have been killed.
This was disclosed in a statement by Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM) issued on Friday.

The victim who was taken to the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) for treatment died on Friday.
The association described the death of Pam as another painful loss to his family and community.
The association expressed concern over the continued attacks in communities across the state.
It also called on the Plateau and federal governments, as well as security agencies, to take urgent measures to protect residents.

It asked security agencies to investigate the attacks, apprehend those responsible and ensure they are brought to justice.
