The incident reportedly claimed 25 lives on Monday night.

The attackers were said to have set the entire village ablaze while the residents fled their homes to unknown destinations.

The acting Governor, Garba Umar, is worried about this incident especially as it comes after the setting up of a peace committee in Taraba state.

He directed more soldiers to be deployed to the community and has re-opened the Takum General Hospital, so that victims of the recent violent attacks in the area could receive treatment.

About a week ago, there was siege on Wukari Town in Taraba State, as  some suspected Fulani Herdsmen attacked the town. Several people were killed while others have fled to neighbouring villages.

The acting Governor also announced that the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed in the area had been relaxed and would be in force between 6 a.m and 12noon
