Berom militia on Tuesday attacked and killed five cows and injured six in an unprovoked attack on Fulani harder in Kassa community, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Zagazola report that the incident occurred at about 1648 hours on May 26, prompting the immediate deployment of troops to the area.

On arrival, the troops found that five cattle had been killed, while six others were injured in the attack while the whereabouts of the harder was uncertain. 

The incident occurred in Kassa, within Barkin Ladi.

Security forces  said efforts were ongoing to track and apprehend those responsible, while measures had been activated to prevent further escalation and maintain calm in the general area.

Zagazola has consistently reported how attack on livestock and destruction of farmlands  continue to be the major trigger of plateau violence.

While the Plateau state governor issued directive that any fulani man found destroying farmlands should be gun-down instantly, he had kept mum on what should happen to the Berom Militia who consistently engaged in cattle rustling and targeted attacks on pastoralist communities.
