Nigeria, June 12 -- Three people have been killed in separate attacks in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, amid growing concerns that armed groups are shifting operations from neighbouring Barkin Ladi following intensified security operations.

The Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM) disclosed this in a statement on Thursday signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Rwang Tengwong.

According to the group, armed men invaded Sol village in the Ta-Hoss community of Riyom at about 9:20 p.m. on Wednesday and killed two residents identified as Davou Dalyop Patu, 48, and Dalyop Zaram, 38.

The association alleged that the attackers retreated to a nearby settlement in Kwakwi, Ganawuri District, after carrying out the attack.
