At least 11 people lost their lives and 31 huts were burnt to ashes in Gululu village, Jahun and Miga local government areas of Jigawa State.
Daily Trust reports that the incident, which occurred last Friday, has sparked tension in the community.
Suleiman Abubakar Jahun, a Fulani elder who lost five children, recounted the horrific incident.
“I was at home when people informed me of a fight between Hausa and Fulani communities. Upon arriving at the scene, I witnessed rampant killings, which were senseless and devastating.”
Abubakar emphasized that his children were not involved in the fight and were innocent victims.
He appealed to the government to provide assistance as he is now responsible for caring for his 18 grandchildren.Another victim, Amadu Garba Jahun, who lost his child, said if similar incidents occur in the future, the community would not seek revenge. Instead, they would leave the matter to God.
Garba emphasized the community’s desire for peace and justice.
“We’re not seeking revenge or wanting to take the law into our own hands. We just want the authorities to do their job and bring us justice.”Daily Trust reports that the Jigawa State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has donated 25 bags of rice and N500,000 to the affected families.
