The fragile peace in Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State was on Sunday morning shattered by suspected herdsmen who invaded Sondi village, killing 25 people . National President of the Nigeria Association of Wapan Students, Tsokwa Addanti Ajidik, who made this known to journalists,added that the gunmen burnt many houses before fleeing. “Today (Sunday) some gunmen in security uniform attacked our village. I can confirm to you that 25 people have so far died going by the reports at our disposal. The gunmen also looted properties worth millions of naira,” he added. Ajidik expressed dismay at what he described as the lukewarm attitude of security operatives whom, according to him, had fore knowledge of the invasion. “We are not happy with the security operatives because they were aware that these attackers were invading our village today, yet they did not prevent the attack.” Taraba State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ademola Omole, who confirmed the incident, put the death toll at seven. Omole said, “So far, only seven people were confirmed killed. But we are fully on the ground there. I have sent more of our men to the area and peace has returned.” |
