Two teachers, a Vice Principal, and one other staff member were killed and seriously injured at BECO Comprehensive School in Riyom, Plateau State. Herdsmen forced their way into the school premises for cow grazing, but were stopped by security. The teachers approached to plead with the herders to vacate the premises, but the herders brought out guns and shot and killed them. The school principal confirmed the attack, stating that the security men interrogated the herdsmen and that two of the teachers were killed. The school principal lamented the incident, stating that open grazing will continue to terrorize the people of the state and the Middle Belt.
