Some Fulani herdsmen, on Saturday, attacked Kwahine, Gidan dadi and Karalahi villages in Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State, killing four policemen and three villagers.
Also, a Senator from Southern Kaduna Senatorial District, Danjuma Laah, on Sunday, said despite the presence of troops, suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked Tsonje village, near Kagoro in the Kaura LGA of Kaduna State on Saturday and killed two persons.
Tsonje is in the crisis-ridden Southern Kaduna.
The Adamawa State Police Command on Sunday confirmed the killings in the state but claimed that only three riot policemen were killed while two were missing.
Lumsambani Dilli, a member representing Demsa community in the state House of Assembly, however, said he was reliably informed by his constituents that three villagers and four policemen died in the attacks.
Dilli urged the state government to fish out the culprits, especially “the herdsmen who carried out the atrocious acts.”
The lawmaker, who said five other persons that sustained serious injuries, had been taken to the state specialist hospital, observed that there was more behind the attacks.
“If it is about the cows, they had been compensated. So, why then the attacks after compensation had been paid?” he stated.
It was learnt that the state government had, after a peace parley with the herdsmen who lost 47 cows to the villagers, offered the aggrieved herdsmen N4.7m compensation, for the sake of peace.
