Armed Fulani herdsmen attacked Angai and Ndole villages in Gashak Local Council area of Taraba State on Sunday killing no fewer than 44 persons.
Although the exact casualty figures are yet to be determined, sources said that a lot of houses and livestock were destroyed, with displaced villagers fleeing into Cameroon and other neighboring communities.
The Taraba State Police Public Relations Officer, Joseph Kwaji, confirmed the attacks but could not give the casualty figures.
“It is true that there was an attack by the herdsmen, but for now, I don’t have the full details of the crisis, so I can not tell you the number of casualties now,” he said.
Meanwhile, concerned citizens of Taraba State have called on the state government to checkmate the activities of Fulani herdsmen which they said have been giving them sleepless nights.
