Tiv Peoples Carry Corpses To Government House In Jalingo, Taraba State

Taraba governor

Tiv people in Taraba state today stormed the government house in Jalingo with the corpses of two of their kinsmen that were allegedly killed by Fulani herdsmen at Dan Anacha in Gassol local government area of the state.

The Tiv people, numbering more than five hundred, arrived in Jalingo with the bodies of the slain men who were macheted beyond recognition about 2.00 pm to protest the continuous killing of Tiv farmers by the Fulanis.

No fewer than seven people were believed to have been killed since the recent wave of killings began last week while more than 30 that wounded by the herdsmen are currently receiving treatment at First Referral Hospital in Mutum-Biyu, headquarters of the local government.

The protesters were however stopped from entering the government house on the directives of the state governor, Architect Darius Ishaku to forestall attacks that may result in the escalation of the crisis. [myad]
