Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, described the attack as “horrendous and unacceptable.” In a statement issued by his media aide, Emmanuel Bello, the governor warned that the perpetrators would “suffer great repercussions” and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to security.
The attack is the latest in a string of violent clashes between farmers and herders in the area. Only days earlier, three people were killed in Bandawa following the murder of a local farmer. Governor Kefas has called for increased collaboration between residents and security agencies to improve intelligence and prevent further violence.
