24 Killed In Taraba Ethnic Clash

At least 24 people have been reportedly killed and many others unaccounted for in an ongoing violent clash between Tivs and Fulanis in Sabon Gidan village of Dan Anacha town, Taraba State.

Sources say the crisis started on Saturday when two corpses of Fulanis were found killed in a bush. Consequently the Fulanis embarked on reprisal attacks againstTivs.

” I counted about 20 corpses who were believed to have been killed early hours of today, Sunday,” a resident from the area told Premium Times.

“Many people including women and children are nowhere to be found,” the source added.

Taraba police spokesperson, David Misal, has confirmed the clash. He said that more operatives have been deployed to the area to restore peace and order.
