No fewer than six people have lost their lives and scores injured after angry youths attacked Fulani residents in Mera community, Augie Local Government Area of Kebbi State, on Sunday evening.
It was reported that the youths reportedly carried out the attack in response to accusations that linked some Fulani individuals to recent bandit raids in the area.
The violence erupted after a survivor of Friday’s bandit attack informed the community youths that he recognised some Fulani faces among the attackers, known locally as “Lakurawa.”
Enraged by this revelation, the youths retaliated, killing six Fulani individuals and injuring numerous others.
Responding, the Kebbi State Police Public Relations Officer, Nafiu Abubakar, confirmed to SaharaReporters that the incident was a “reprisal by the angry youths.”
“We have deployed personnel to the area to calm the situation,” Abubakar said, assuring residents of ongoing efforts to restore peace in the troubled area.
