The Taraba State Police Command has confirmed that 10 people were killed when gunmen attacked Binnari community in Karim-Lamido Local Government Area of the state.
The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Victor Mshelizah, said only 10 people lost their lives in the attack.
Local sources, however, put the death toll at more than 20, with others still missing.
According to residents, the attackers invaded the community, which is located on the border between Karim-Lamido LGA of Taraba State and Plateau State, at about 2 a.m. and began killing people from door to door.
“They came and were quietly killing people from door to door before they started shooting. They burnt down the entire community and killed over 20 people. Many are still missing in the bushes,” a resident said. (Nigerian Tribune)
