The Police Command in Nasarawa State has confirmed five persons dead in a fresh attack on Kadarko village and environs in Obi Local Government of the state.

Mr Kennedy Idirisu, the command’s spokesman, told reporters on Wednesday in Lafia that the attackers suspected to be armed herdsmen invaded the village last night and shot everyone on sight.

“The command has deployed adequate personnel to quell the attacks. Relative normalcy had returned to the area. We have also arrested three suspects in connection with the Kadarko attacks,” he said.

According to him, the State Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Ahmed Bello, was already on his way to the affected areas for an on-the-spot assessment of the situation.

A resident of Kadarko village, who spoke on the incident, said that trouble started when a 17- year-old boy had his arm chopped off by unknown persons suspected to be herdsmen.

The source, who craved anonymity, said that the attackers later stormed the village at night, shooting sporadically at anyone on sight.

“Even the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp was not spared,” he said, adding that many people were injured in the stampede as women and children scampered for safety.

Buhari! Pls proscribe these Fulani herdsmen as Terrorist so that the world can know how to deal with them. Pls stop calling it farmers/herders clashes

There goes the president's killer brother against.

These herdsmen dont take prisoners,they kill everyone on sight,they leave a trail of blood whenever and wherever they come visiting,even when Aliyu Umaru Almakura the governor of Nasarawa state has been acting as there defacto spokesman,they still killed in his backyard. They killed in Kogi,despite Governor bello's avowed loyalty to the ruling Fulani oligarchy and his much talked about love for killer herdsmen! They maimed and killed senselessly in Bassa and Bokkos both in Plateau state inspite of Governor Lalongs Jingo patriotism and servitude behaviour towards the Fulani ruling class and his criticism of the handling of the Benue crisis by Gov. Ortom of Benue state.
The question is?how long are we going to turn away and pretend that nothing is happening,we are a nation at war against itself...the blood of the innocent is crying out loud! Our land is seeking for justice and there can never be peace without justice.
