Plateau State Charges Five Over Angwa-Rukuba Killings
The Plateau State government has initiated legal proceedings against five individuals arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) related to the Angwa-Rukuba killings that occurred in March 2026, resulting in the deaths of 30 people. The suspects, identified as Isa Umar Ibrahim, Auwalu Abubakar (also known as Auwalu Dogo), Musa Abubakar Ibrahim (also known as Yaroro), and Adamu Isa Alhassan, face charges of criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide, illegal possession of firearms, and illegal dealing in arms and ammunition.
The charges were filed by the state Attorney General, Philemon Audu Daffi, on April 3 and April 10, 2026. The offenses are linked to a planned attack on Angwa-Rukuba, where the suspects allegedly organized and facilitated the attack, which was part of a broader pattern of violence in the region.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang has expressed concerns over the ongoing violence and called for international attention to the situation in Plateau State.
