Jat said, “Fulani herdmen attacked some women of kinat community coming from the market yesterday evening. They killed two people and two other persons also sustained injuries.
“Those who were injured are currently receiving treatment in the hospital . But the question is what exactly did this people want that they are attacking even traders who were returning from the market ? It is by the Grace of God that some of us escaped the attack.
