Several persons have been reportedly killed and many others wounded following an attack on three communities in Jire Local Government Area of Adamawa State by Fulani herdsmen on Sunday.
The heavily armed gunmen were said to have attacked Ko, Gereng and Ndikajam communities at about 3.30 am, shooting sporadically.
Executive Director of Stefanos Foundation, Mr. Mark Lipdo, quoting some survivors, said that currently many of them had deserted their villages, while the herdsmen held sway.
According to Lipdo, “Information showed that early morning today, Fulani terrorists unleashed violence on three communities in Jire local government area of Adamawa State. Survivors said they burnt down houses in Ko, Gereng and Ndikajam and were shooting sporadically. It is still difficult to establish the number of casualties as people are currently running for their lives.”
