When our people got wind of the situation, they mobilized themselves to push back the assailants and in the process, the Fulani militia shot one of our youths whose name is Mabo Agah. Agah who is 40 years with one wife and a child was rushed to the hospital but he died this morning,” he said.

Bini said that the incidents had been reported to the Commander in charge of Sector 3 of the Special Task Force maintaining peace in the area as well as the Divisional Police Officer in the Council Area.
