Terrorists
in the guise of herdsmen yesterday attacked Angai and Ndole villages
in Gashak Local Council area of Taraba State, killing several persons.
Following the incident, a large number
of the local population has reportedly fled to the neighbouring Cameroun
Republic and nearby local council areas.
Though the exact number of casualties
are yet to be confirmed by the authority, sources said that no fewer
than 44 persons, have been feared killed with several numbers of houses
and domestic animals burnt to aches.
Confirming the disaster, the Police
Public Relations Officer, Joseph Kwaji, agreed that there was an attack
by the herdsmen, but could not ascertain the numbers of persons killed.
According to him “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.”
