Mass burial in Lau LG of Taraba state over attack by Herdsmen, leaves thousands homeless

Tears flowed freely on Tuesday in several communities in Lau, Taraba State, as youths in the areas buried 29 corpses of their parents and children murdered last weekend by herdsmen who invaded their villages.



Most of those killed were women, children and the aged who could not escape the gun and knife wielding herdsmen invaded their communities at about 3pm on Friday, January 5.
At least 29 corpses recovered from burnt houses, bush paths and nearby farms where the victims tried to hide from the killer Fulani herdsmen were buried on Tuesday. A combined team of armed soldiers and police men provided them security cover to enable them complete the funeral rites.
Many of the youths spoke of their missing relations, burnt houses, farms, food items and other valuables as they sobbed profusely while talking to a group of journalists that visited them in Abari where most of those who survived the attacks escaped to.

The Lau attack is the latest act of unprovoked aggression against communities in Taraba State by Fulani herdsmen.. Not less than 55 lives were lost, according to the accounts of the villagers while over 200 houses were burnt.

May God console the families of those involved in the lost of there love once. And for this barbaric act the law must surely catch up with the perpetrators of this devilish act
