The governor, however, condemned the attacks which he described as the worst recorded in the state in the past seven months, that has thrown reisdents into mourning.

Masari warned the residents at the grassroots to stop attacking visiting Fulani herdsmen to avert further attack and reprisal attacks.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has also condemned the attack, insisting that no one had the right to take the law into their own hands in the name of ‘Revenge’.
