Following the suspected herdsmen attack that left 20 people dead in Kaduna state last weekend, a seemingly retaliatory clash has claimed the lives of 14 herdsmen. An angry mob reportedly unleashed terror on herdsmen in the state on Monday, October 18, hacking 14 of them to death.
According to a commercial bus driver Adamu Aliyu "I was returning from Plateau state with eight passengers, all of them Fulani herders and my car broke down so he hurriedly went in search of a mechanic, adding that as he stepped away, a mob descended on his vehicle While I was away, surrounded and forcibly brought out the eight passengers and hacked them to death, dumped them in the vehicle and set it ablaze. Another vehicle was also attacked when it stopped to refuel and all the six people were burnt to death along with the car.
He said it took the intervention of soldiers and police to curtail the slaughtering, When the situation calmed down, I returned to my vehicle and found out that it has been burnt down, with charred remains of the passengers," he added.
