Verified conservative figures — "at least" numbers. Where reports claim more, the higher claim is shown but not counted until verified.
Three herders were killed and two injured in an attack on herders tending cattle around Bangai community, Riyom LGA, Plateau State, on 6 August 2026. MACBAN's Riyom secretary said 14 cattle were killed and four injured, and alleged suspected Berom militia were responsible; the Berom Youth Moulders Association denied involvement.
Casualty figures come solely from MACBAN Riyom secretary Yahaya Musa (named); police and military did not confirm. Perpetrator attribution is contested — Berom youth group denies involvement. Publication same day as reported incident.
