On June 15, 2025, reports emerged of a violent attack on a Christian community in Nigeria’s central Plateau State, resulting in the deaths of at least 86 individuals. The incident involved armed assailants who targeted multiple villages, including Ndun, during the early morning hours. Local authorities confirmed the toll after recovering 86 bodies, with survivors reporting the use of firearms and machetes. The attack displaced approximately 200 residents, who sought refuge in nearby towns, while emergency services provided medical care to over 30 injured individuals. The Nigerian military deployed additional forces to the region, conducting patrols to stabilize the area, and reported arresting three suspects linked to the assault. A state government spokesperson announced plans for a security meeting on June 18, 2025, to address the ongoing violence. This event follows a series of similar incidents, with local leaders calling for increased protection measures. The government has promised to investigate and provide support to affected families, including food and shelter for the displaced, though specific aid figures remain pending. The situation remains under review as authorities work to restore order.
