3 killed as Fulani, Berom Lock Horns Again In Plateau State



Three persons have again been killed in two separate attacks carried out by the Fulanis and the Beroms in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Information gathered revealed that three Beroms who were on a motorcycle were on the way to Rakun village on Sunday evening were attacked by gunmen suspected to be Fulanis at about 7.30 pm.


Two of them who were already by Rakun Junction when the attack took place, were killed instantly and the remaining one escaped with injuries. On reaching the village and relating the incident, youths of the area regrouped and unleashed vengeance on the Fulani settlement close by leading to the death of a Fulani man. His body was discovered Monday morning. The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Emmanuel Abu, confirmed the killing of the three persons.


The hope of a lasting peaceful coexistence between the Fulanis and Beroms is now becoming a mirage.
