The bodies of 27 people, including women and children, killed in a brutal attack last Tuesday in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, are being moved back to the community for a mass burial.
The victims had been taken to a nearby hospital for post-mortem and documentation after suffering fatal injuries during a late-night raid by unknown gunmen. With procedures now completed, their remains are being returned for final burial rites.
Riyom remains in mourning, as residents gather in sorrow to receive their loved ones. Traditional rulers, humanitarian workers, and local leaders are working together to coordinate the burial and support grieving families during this painful time.
