A week after a violent clash occurred between herders and farmers in Fulata, Taura Local Government Area in Jigawa State, both groups have continued to trade blame.

The Fulanis allege their houses and property were damaged by farmers in the community but the farmers claim they were the ones attacked by armed ‘invading herders’ last week Friday.

Mr Ali said, “we are yet to ascertain how many people were killed or injured because many are still missing after the attack and over a hundred are taking refuge at my residence. He said the residents then “seized and impounded some livestock to the palace of the district head, which later compounded the crisis.”

“The DPO told us he cannot dare Fulani because they are violent in nature. As result of the crises, four residents from Hausa community are severely injured and are currently responding to treatment at the hospital.”A victim, Hassan Sabo, told reporters that his aged parents are still missing, including nine cows.
