Earlier, the Executive Chairman of Karu LGA, James Thomas, who visited the attacked communities before the mass burial, completely condemned the attack by the herdsmen.
Thomas, who was represented by his Deputy, Lawal Karshi, however, appealed for calm and vowed to work closely with the security agencies to arrest the perpetrators of the act in order for them to face the full wrath of the law. According to a report, the attack was a result of a disagreement between a farmer and a bandit who took his cows to graze on a groundnut and maize farm.
The cows completely ate the crops which angered the farmer, leading to a fierce battle between him and the bandit. “As the farmer was talking to the bandit to send his cows out of his farm, a fierce disagreement ensued and the bandit brought out his cutlass and started fighting the farmer; but the farmer overpowered him, snatched his cutlass and fought him back, and the bandit died.
