Three of the Tuesday attackers who were killed when some youth responded to the assault were found in military uniform.

Emmanuel Bello, a spokesperson for Governor Darius Ishaku, said news of the killings had spread to Jalingo, Taraba State capital.

But the police commissiobers in the two states have yet to speak officially on the attacks.

Bello too admitted he didn’t have all the details as yet.

Benue Gov. Samuel Ortom on Tuesday asked the displaced people to go back home and defend themselves with stone.
