At least 55
people have been killed by Fulani herdsmen in Lau Local Government Area of
Taraba State. Correspondents gathered that the invasion and attacks began
during
the weekend.
25 bodies
were recovered and given a mass burial on Tuesday when journalists and a media
assistant to the governor, Bala Dan Abu, visited the affected area. Policemen
and soldiers are currently patrolling the area.
“Herdsmen
are killing people in Lau, my state,” Governor Darius Ishaku told The Nation on
Tuesday night on the telephone.
The death
toll has risen to 55, as more bodies were recovered on Wednesday morning by the
locals.
The police,
however, said the place is calm now.
