On Christmas Eve, gunmen invaded over 15 communities in the state’s Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas, resulting in the deaths of over 190 individuals.
On Sunday night, the assailants successfully ignited several dwellings. The men, armed with firearms and filled with fear, not only slaughtered the inhabitants but also devastated properties and destroyed farm produce. There have been no claims of responsibility from any group regarding the tragic attack.
