According to the National secretary general of Miyetti Allah, Sale Bayari, ” the suspected Bachama farmers from Numan area of Adamawa State attacked Fulanis in the neighbouring villages of Kana, Bujum, Yitti, and Mayo-Lope of Lau local government area of Taraba State.”
Mr Bayari said: “At Mayo-Lope, they killed Babangida Hassan and Buba Musa and dumped the corpses in shallow wells.”
He claimed that some of those killed “were complying with the eviction order given by the Bachama only for them to be attacked and killed while crossing River Benue.’’
