The fresh attacks came just a day after the launching of public apology billboard by the State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, signaling the return of peace and an end to the frequent conflicts between Fulani Herdsmen and natives of Southern part of the state.

An indigene of the area told Channels Television on telephone that the entire communities have been deserted as people flee from their homes for fear of being caught up in the attack.
