Plateau Massacre: Tears as Victims of Doruwa Babuje Attack Buried in Mass Funeral!
Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan, Editor-in-Chief | Sele Media Africa
Grief and anguish filled the air in Doruwa Babuje, a rural community in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, as victims of a recent armed attack were laid to rest in a solemn mass burial attended by relatives, religious leaders, and community members.
The victims were among those killed when gunmen stormed a local relaxation spot in Doruwa Babuje, opening fire on residents gathered at the location. The assault, which occurred on Sunday evening, left multiple casualties and several others injured, deepening concerns over persistent insecurity in Plateau’s rural communities.
During the burial ceremony, prayers were offered for the deceased while grieving families called for justice and protection from further violence. Community leaders described the killings as a senseless act and urged authorities to take decisive action against those responsible.
Local representatives also appealed to security agencies to intensify surveillance and response efforts across vulnerable areas in Barkin Ladi and neighboring districts. Residents warned that repeated attacks have created a climate of fear, with many calling for sustained intervention to prevent further loss of life.
The Doruwa Babuje attack is part of a broader pattern of violence that has affected several communities in Plateau State, where tensions and sporadic armed assaults have continued to threaten civilian populations.
As families mourn their loved ones, community members say lasting peace will depend on improved security presence, accountability for perpetrators, and long-term conflict prevention strategies across Plateau’s rural settlements.
