Gunmen attacked Bamber village in Gunduma District, Gassol Local Government Area of Taraba State.
Tellwell Newspaper reports that no loss of lives reported, but locals told Tellwell Newspaper that about 4000 residents of the village fled the attack.
The gunmen, numbering about 60, stormed the village on motorcycles at about 5:30pm, on Sunday, when residents were still going about their daily routines, according to a local, Terzungwe Matthew.
“We are suspecting the attackers as vigilantes who were assigned to protect lives and property of the people that now turned against us,” Yerzungwe alleged.
Efforts to confirm the incident from the Taraba State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Usman Albdullahi were not successful as his phone was not connecting.
