25 people buried en-masse after herdsmen attack in Nasarawa

25 people, including women and children, were killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen at Arikya-Soni, a boundary area between Nasarawa-Eggon and Lafia LGAs of Nasarawa State yesterday Sunday November 9 in the morning.

A mass burial was conducted for the victims after their remains were recovered at Umme, at about 1 pm, same day.

The victims, who are all from Eggon ethnic community, were from Umme, Arugbadu and Bakyano villages of Nasarawa Eggon local government areas.
 
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, of Nasarawa State command, confirmed the incident and said investigation had commenced to unravel the perpetrators of the criminal act.

A survivor, Mrs. Saratu Mustapha, told newsmen at Ashangbo clinic in the locality where she is receiving treatment for gun shot wounds, that she was returning from the farm in company of her husband and sister on a motorcycle when the gunmen attacked them. She managed to escape into the bush but her husband and her sister were among those killed during the attack.

    1. Idiot what should he do.
      Should he go to the bush and start fighting, the people doing this stuffs are in big offices.the problem with Nigeria is that we don't know who or what we are fighting and I can assure even Obama cannot do much in this situation

  7. Chei!!!!!!!!, what is this happening in this country especially the northern part. Killing human beings is like just killing fowl. How sure are they that it is not boko haram them but if it was the herds men, this is least of what should be expected of them. They are always taking advantage of people cos they are never brought to book with their indiscriminate killing whenever there is provocation from the villagers.

  30. Before the killing binge they chant allahu akbar to a frenzy...
    Seized by a legion of demons, they descend on the hapless...check again, Christians!!!!
    Bloodletting!!!!!!
    Drenched and inebriated to their heart's content, they chant allahu akbar for punctuation, and disperse like hell's elements only to re-converge (no predictable periodic pattern) for another cycle of blood binge....
    The Nazis must be green with envy!!!!!!!!!!
