BREAKING: Many Feared Killed As Herdsmen, Nasarawa’s Community’s Clash
No fewer than 11 people have been killed in the Tatara Mada community in Kokona Local Government of Nasarawa State, following a misunderstanding between a young man from the community and some Fulani herdsmen in the area.
Some of the displaced residents who said they managed to get back to their community on Saturday, said the community that had been a beehive of activities is now desolate, leaving only security operatives on the ground to patrol its nooks and crannies to forestall any more crises.
Some of the people said they escaped death by the whiskers.
They said they are still in shock that a little misunderstanding between a young adult and some Fulani herdsmen in the area could degenerate into a full-scale communal clash.
Tatara Mada community has been under attack for over five days now with most of the residents who fled the community still not sure of when to return to their ancestral homes, despite the presence of security operatives.
Tatara Mada community has about 10 thousand inhabitants, who are predominantly farmers, but they have now been forced to abandon their farming activities to save their lives.
