According to Abdullahi Yusuf, the attack on the Fulani herdsmen which saw their cattle killed – was allegedly carried out by Irigei tribe.
The people of Bassa and other Nigerians are calling on the appropriate authorities to look into the issue as quickly as possible in order to prevent a reprisal attack by the Fulanis.
Last year, some persons were killed by suspected gunmen in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State. About 15 of their cows were also killed during the attack.
