Tuesday, October 28, 2025 - No fewer than ten herders have been reportedly killed in a reprisal attack on a Fulani settlement in Tilli community, Bunza Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
According to local sources, the attack was
launched following the killing of a vigilante member in the area, which was
blamed on Fulani residents.
“The reprisal attack was carried out in error.
They thought the Fulani were behind the killing of the vigilante,” a resident
told our correspondent.
He explained that the assailants invaded the
Fulani settlement, killing over ten people during the raid.
“They attacked them in their settlement. Over
10 of them were killed, and search operations are still ongoing for others who
might have been killed,” he added.
The National President of the Miyetti Allah
Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and the Deputy Governor of
Kebbi State, Senator Umar Tafida, have reportedly visited the community to
condole with families of the victims.
When contacted, the spokesperson of the Kebbi
State Police Command, CSP Nafiu Abubakar, said he was yet to receive official
information on the incident but promised to investigate and provide updates.
