Bandits storm Taraba community, kill 10

Ten people have died as a result of violent attacks that have rocked Ganfeto town in Daka ward, Bali Local Government Council, Taraba State.

The neighborhood was still in sorrow and recovering from shock when this report was published.

The unfortunate news was confirmed by Usman Abdullahi, the spokesperson for the Taraba State Police Command, in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Wednesday in Jalingo, the state capital. He stated that the identities of the deceased were yet unknown.

He also stated that the assailants had not been proven to be bandits. According to Abdullahi, the assailants, masked in vigilante garb, intentionally targeted Fulanis in the village’s market, resulting in brutal executions on the outskirts.

Abdullahi told reporters that:

“investigations indicate that those killed were from the Juldel group, a vigilante organisation.”

There are suspicions that the culprits are members of another vigilante group, and their identities are unknown.

According to Abdullahi, “one complication is that nobody has claimed the corpses of those who were killed.” The police spokeswoman emphasized the importance of determining the names of both assailants and victims.

The police leadership, on the other hand, has assured inhabitants of Bali Local Government Council of their safety and urged them to go about their everyday lives. Abdullahi concluded by stating:

“We are working tirelessly to identify and apprehend those behind these heinous acts. Our commitment is to ensure the safety of lives and property in the village and the council at large.”
