The attack occurred in the village of Mushu, AFP said in a post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Nigerian army did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Plateau is known as Nigeria's Middle Belt, where inter-communal conflict has claimed hundreds of lives in recent years.
In May, fights between farmers and herders in the Plateau state had killed over 100 people.
