Suspected gunmen on Friday reportedly killed two persons at a mining site in Burdinga, Gashish District, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.

In a statement on Friday, the spokesman for Berom Youth Moulders-Association, Rwang Tengwong, condemned the attack on the miners.

Mr Tengwong identified the victims as Goodluck Bulus and Emmanuel Monday.

He noted that Mr Bulu’s father was killed by suspected gunmen a decade ago.

“The apparent repetition of tragedy within the same family underscores the devastating human cost of persistent insecurity and the urgent need to end this cycle of violence,” Mr Tengwong said.

The group said it was concerned by the abduction and subsequent killing of Pam Dachung Kim, a native of Gwol Hoss gunmen on Tuesday while returning from his workplace at Rahoss Primary School. 

“That a person could be targeted while returning from work is a disturbing reminder that ordinary residents continue to face grave risks in their daily activities,” he said.

The state police spokesperson, Alfred Alabo, didn’t immediately respond to the Peoples Gazette comment on the issue.

Barely six days ago, suspected gunmen killed three miners at a mining site in the Janus area of Kazok village, Gashish district, Barkin Ladi area of the state.

On June 16, gunmen reportedly killed five miners at a mining site in Gero village, Gy district of Jos South Local Government area of the state.

Brighton and Hove Albion head coach Fabian Hürzeler has played down concerns over the limited involvement of Nigerian players Femi Azeez and Zadok Yohanna, explaining that adapting to the club’s demanding style of play requires patience and time.

Hürzeler insisted that there were no major concerns surrounding the players’ progress, stressing that some new arrivals naturally need longer to adjust to the intensity and tactical expectations of the Premier League side.

“No big issue. I think we had the topic last press conference, where some players need more time to adapt to the intensity,” Hürzeler said.

The German tactician explained that Brighton’s coaching staff are focused on providing an environment that allows developing players to understand the team’s playing philosophy and physical demands.

“We try to give them the environment where they can adapt to our demands, to how we want to play,” he stated.

Hürzeler noted that the adaptation process varies among players, making it important to avoid rushing those who require additional time before they are ready for competitive action.

“These kinds of players, they might need a little bit longer, but overall there’s not a big issue,” he explained.

The Brighton manager’s comments offer reassurance amid questions about the Nigerians’ limited opportunities, with the club continuing to assess their progress in training.

He stressed that the situation was primarily about adjustment rather than any serious problem requiring intervention.

“It’s just a thing of adapting, and let’s see how fast he will adapt,” Hürzeler added.

The coach also expressed confidence that opportunities would arrive once the necessary adjustments had been made.

“I’m sure that he will make his first minutes for us quite soon,” he declared.

Although Hürzeler’s final assurance referred to a player in the singular, his broader remarks highlighted the importance of giving new arrivals sufficient time to settle into Brighton’s system.

For Hürzeler, patience remains the priority, with the Nigerians’ opportunities dependent on how quickly they adapt to the club’s intensity, tactical demands and playing philosophy.
