Scores Feared Dead As Suspected Herdsmen Sack Mararaba Community by adenigga(op): 5:11pm On Mar 25
Aso A, a community located near Jumai Estate in Mararaba, a boundary area between Abuja and Nasarawa State, has been attacked by suspected herdsmen, leaving several persons dead and many others injured.

DAILY POST gathered that the attack, which began on Wednesday morning, has so far claimed no fewer than six lives, although the exact number of casualties remains unconfirmed.

Sources told DAILY POST that the violence was triggered by an earlier clash between a farmer and a herder, which reportedly led to the death of the herder. The farmer, whose identity is yet to be established, was said to have fled shortly after the incident.

In apparent retaliation, suspected herdsmen reportedly stormed the residence of the fleeing farmer, attacking residents indiscriminately and setting houses ablaze. The situation escalated when community members attempted to resist the attackers, resulting in further destruction of property and loss of life.

A video obtained by DAILY POST shows several houses engulfed in flames, while the body of one of the victims was seen being transported in a wheelbarrow to a nearby hospital.

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the entire community has been deserted, with many residents fleeing to neighbouring areas in Abuja and other safer locations.

As of the time of filing this report, a combined team of police and military personnel had been deployed to the area to restore order.

Meanwhile, a motorcyclist transporting a police officer to the scene was reportedly ambushed and killed by the attackers.

Although the exact death toll is yet to be officially confirmed, a community leader said tension remains high in Mararaba amid reports that more armed herdsmen may have been mobilised from Keffi for possible reprisal attacks.

Efforts to obtain an official response from the Divisional Police Officer of Aso A Police Division were unsuccessful, as the female Divisional Police Officer (DPO), who answered our call, declined to comment on the incident.

Re: Scores Feared Dead As Suspected Herdsmen Sack Mararaba Community by Emusan(m):
This story isn't completely true.

Though they are Fulani but not the actual suspected Herdsmen attack.

What actually happened was that, a man in the area whose house was also burnt to ashes was rearing pigs, and the pigs are left uncage and even this has caused issue btw the man and one neighbor before.

To cut the long story short, the pig went and gave birth in the compound of the Fulani (probably as Muslims that hate pig, the Fulani killed all the piglet and the mother). Yesterday, the Fulani boys came near to the man's house (whose pigs were killed) to get Mango and the man confronted them which leads to a bigger confrontation and as Fulani mentality of I can do anything, they brought out their weapons and the man rushed into his house and brought out his gun, which later resulted to the death of one of the Fulani.

So, this morning people wake up to see the Fulani has mobilized themselves to attack the man but unfortunately the man has left with his family. So, the Fulani set his house on fire but as neighbors see that the fire can spread to their own houses they decided to quench the fire which didn't sit well with the Fulani, so they came back and started burning innocent people's house and properties and attacked innocent people too.

When police came, they even attacked police too to the extent of collecting police gun which the security didn't allow and try to prevent and later leads to more casualty.

People in the area are afraid of a possible come back attack by the Fulani which has made some people relocating their families but men are still on ground in case anything goes.

Shame on you. Why not call a spade, a spade? How can a particular set of people be above the law? Killing and maiming other people at the slightest issue?

So youths in that location can't come together and give those Fulanis a run for their money?

These are the results of voting an incompetent president into power.
It's a pity
Re: Scores Feared Dead As Suspected Herdsmen Sack Mararaba Community by Atlantis585: 12:36pm On Mar 26
Meanwhile Tinubu and APC are only concerned about next election.

Watch as he will not even bother commenting on this attack or kpaiment.
Re: Scores Feared Dead As Suspected Herdsmen Sack Mararaba Community by Mrchippychappy(m): 12:36pm On Mar 26
Previously whenever you see Fulani attacks, it used to be in places that had hut and mud houses, now it looks more like the picture attached to this article, signifying that they are getting closer to the metro / urban areas. Make we dey fold hand dey watch, when e happen e go be like film.
