A devastating incident in Dorong village, Barkin Ladi LGA, Plateau State, has claimed the lives of four minors and left families shattered. The victims—Precious Joshuah (17), Isa’ac Joshuah (9), Mary Joshuah (7), and three-year-old Eve Sambo—were reported by Premium Times, with local reactions underscoring the urgency of humanitarian response for affected communities.
Initial reports suggested that the attackers may have been Fulani herders, a claim echoed by George Lambert, the media aide to the member representing Barkin Ladi Constituency in the Plateau State House of Assembly. It is important to note that these details are preliminary and have not been formally confirmed by security authorities. As such, our foundation urges caution and relies on verified updates from official channels as the situation evolves.
Community members described a delayed security response, a pattern often seen in violent incidents across Barkin Ladi and surrounding areas. In the wake of such violence, families endure profound loss, displacement, and trauma. The Dorothy Iselin Humanitarian Foundation is monitoring the situation and stands ready to collaborate with local partners to deliver urgent relief, psychosocial support, and protection for women and children affected by this tragedy.
What we are doing and how we can help:
– Providing psychosocial support for children and families coping with loss, fear, and displacement.
– Advocating for transparent security updates and protection of civilians in conflict-affected communities.
– mobilizing resources to sustain long-term recovery, including education support and community reconciliation efforts.
