Fulani terrorists killed at least six residents, including children and students, in Angwa Rukuba, Jos North, on Palm Sunday.
The attack took place on Sunday evening in the Gari Ya Waye area of Angwa Rukuba.
Terrorists arrived and opened fire on people in the community and nearby student quarters.
Residents heard the shots and ran to safety as chaos spread through the streets.
Six people died at the scene and in hospital.
Several others received treatment for injuries at a local facility.
The victims lived in the area and included both locals and students who stay there for school.
After the attack the Plateau State Government imposed a 48-hour curfew across Jos North Local Government Area.
Officials announced the measure late on Sunday to restore calm and allow security forces to investigate.
People must stay indoors until further notice.
The incident happened on a day when many Christians marked Palm Sunday.
Community members described the timing as deliberate, though authorities have not yet released full details on the attackers.
Security teams now patrol the zone and continue their search for those responsible.
Similar violence has struck Plateau State before, but residents say this latest event adds to the pressure on daily life in Jos North.
Families gathered on Monday to bury the dead while they waited for more information from officials.
