Youth Leader Rwas Paul Danladi Killed in Gunmen Attack
On October 7, 2026, Rwas Paul Danladi, a youth leader and former chairman of the Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM) for Gashish District, was shot dead by gunmen while riding his motorcycle near Rantis Village along the Gashish-Barkin Ladi road around 6pm. Rwang Tengwong, the BYM National Publicity Secretary, confirmed the incident in a statement on October 8, 2026.
The BYM described Danladi as a respected community leader and extended condolences to his family and the Gashish community. The violence did not end with Danladi's killing; two additional individuals were injured in separate attacks across Berom communities on the same day.
One victim was seriously injured at Gwom-Ajang and was taken to Jos University Teaching Hospital for treatment, while Mafeng Samuel Lamba was injured along Sho Road. The BYM urged the Plateau State Government and security agencies, including the Nigerian Army and the Department of State Services (DSS), to investigate the killing and enhance security measures in vulnerable areas.
