At least 27 Fulani pastoralists were feared dead following a bomb blast suspected to be an airstrike hit a community in Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
The blast was allegedly targeted at suspected bandits who have been terrorizing residents along the border areas linking Nasarawa and Benue states.
The State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Ramhan Nansel, verified this in a statement on January 25, 2023, and stated that the tragic incident happened on January 24, 2023, in the Rukubi community of the Doma LGA.
“It is unfortunate that such a thing happened. Twenty-seven of the herdsmen were killed after a bomb exploded in Doma LGA. The police and other security agencies are working round the clock to understand what led to the attack and track down those involved in the act,” he stated.
The State Chairman, Miyetti Allah Kautal Horai, Ardo Lawal Dano, who spoke to 9News Nigeria, expressed shock over the bombing that killed his kinsmen.
He appealed to the federal and state governments to come to their aid to arrest those involved in the act, calm the situation, and restore normalcy in the area.
“The Fulani people are law-abiding citizens. We don’t like trouble, so let the government address the situation because we are pained losing our loved ones,” he added.
