Gunmen have attacked Andoyaku community in Wukari local government area of Taraba state.
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.
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
