Herdsmen kill seven in Taraba

Seven people, including a woman, have been confirmed killed and many others injured after suspected herdsmen attacked Tor Damisa village in Donga Local Government Area of Taraba State.

It was speculated that it was a reprisal attack because a herder was severely injured in the Tiv community just days earlier.

Police spokesman, Abdullahi Usman, confirmed the incident, saying houses were set ablaze during the attack.
