At least two persons have been reported dead in Barakin-Ladi Local
Govenment Area of Plateau State following a reprisal attack by some
persons suspected to be Fulani herdsmen.
The herdsmen were alleged to be on a revenge mission to the area following the killing of three of their kinsmen recently.
It was gathered that the Fulani herdsmen ambushed a group of youths
working on their farms and killed them while six others sustained several
degree of injuries.
Executive Director of Stefanos Foundation, Mr Mark Lipdo, who
confirmed the attack, said the herdsmen attacked the people in their
farms on Thursday and destroyed their farms.
He said: “They came into the village with their guns, shooting at
villagers. One villager was injured on the leg,” adding that the attack
was followed, on Thursday, with the killing of two persons.
Also confirming the luciferous incident, the Plateau State police
spokesman, Mr Emmanuel Abuh, said that no arrest had been made yet.
According to him, the victims had gone to their farms, but on their
way back, they were waylaid and killed with guns by the herdsmen.
It will be recalled that three Fulani men were killed at Sho village
in Barakin-Ladi Local Government Area of the state recently by people
suspected to be natives (Berom), while one of the four people escaped
by the whiskers.
