Communities in Gwadabawa Local Government Area of Sokoto State North-west Nigeria are living in fear of reprisal attacks after residents attacked Fulani settlers in the area.
Residents of the communities are mostly Hausas while the members of terrorist gangs suspected to have carried out the original attack are primarily Fulanis. He said the action of the terrorists spurred residents of Gigane and other communities to launch an attack on Fulanis in the area.“The gun battle between the soldiers and the terrorists took over an hour which led to the death of one soldier while another one sustained serious injuries. What happened is that there has been a misunderstanding between the residents and some Fulanis. Their people were abducted so they attacked some Fulanis in the communities,” the local government chairman said.
