Five persons were killed and several others injured yesterday, as the crisis between the Tiv and Jukun tribes in Wukari, Taraba State escalated.
The renewed conflict between the Tiv and Jukun tribes in Wukari, Taraba state occurred less than a week after the deputy governors of Benue and Taraba states brokered peace between the warring tribes, which led to a cessation of hostilities. “Five of our men were killed while three other people were injured and about 28 houses were also burnt. Some of our people are also missing,” he said.
Similar gory tales were told in Zamfara and Katsina States, where bandits have persistently killed defenseless people, particularly women, children and the aged. His wife told reporters that he survived, stating, “they were carrying guns and pointed the gun at me demanding that I should bring out the money my husband came home with, threatening to kill him if I refuse.”
Jigawa State Deputy Governor Ibrahim Hassan, who confirmed the incidence to journalists, said: “The bandits allegedly tracked one Abdulkadir from the market to his residence for money.”
