Taraba deadly clash
原文原文 / Original TextA fresh clash between Mambilla residents and Fulani pastoralists has left at least seven people dead, 186 livestock killed and over 340 homes razed in Taraba State.
The incident, which happened in Geroji settlements of Mbamnga ward, Sardauna Local Government Area, also displaced more than 1,000 residents.
Residents and community leaders say the death toll could be higher as dozens of persons remain missing.
According to sources, the clash erupted penultimate Friday night following a dispute between a Mambilla woman and a Fulani man. The violence subsequently spread to Geroji and Mbara communities as well as some settlements including Wuro Buba, Wuro Ardo Bashiru, Wuro Wakili Idrisa, Wuro Saleh Petel, Wuro Hassan Jaji, Wuro Alhaji Jibo, Wuro Alhaji Manu and Wuro Mbarkal.
Speaking to our correspondent, one of the community leaders, Ardo Bashiru, said, “We have lost everything. Our houses were burnt, our livestock – cattle, sheep and horses – were either dead or stolen. With the rainy season at its peak, we are facing a humanitarian crisis. We have no shelter, no food and no means of survival.”
Another source, who pleaded anonymity, said hundreds of residents, including women and children, fled the settlements and crossed into the neighboring Republic of Cameroon, seeking refuge in Nyang, Donga‑Mantung Division.
He said an unidentified group entered the village, opened fire on residents and set many structures ablaze, resulting in loss of life and property.
When contacted, the Chairman of the Sardauna LGA, Alhaji Mohammed Umar, confirmed that many residents fled but arrangements are under way to repatriate the displaced people.
