Based on reports by Channels news, at least 13 Fulani herdsmen were reportedly killed in Karim Lamido local government area of Taraba State, by suspected Bachama farmers who allegedly raided some villages in the early hours of Sunday.
According to the National secretary general of Miyetti Allah, Sale Bayari, ” the suspected Bachama farmers
from Numan area of Adamawa State attacked Fulanis in the neighbouring villages of Kana, Bujum, Yitti, and Mayo-Lope of Lau local government area of Taraba State.”
Mr Bayari said: “At Mayo-Lope, they killed Babangida Hassan and Buba Musa and dumped the corpses in shallow wells.”
He claimed that some of those killed “were complying with the eviction order given by the Bachama only for them to be attacked and killed while crossing River Benue.’’
I remember that Bachama farmers gave fulani herdsmen an ultimatum to vacate their lands, this might be the beginning of another war, if not carefully and swiftly handled by the authorities. The authorities should please act not before women and children are slaughtered in their sleep.
