There have been a series of attacks and reprisal attacks between pastoralists and farming communities in recent times in the state.
The spokesperson of the 3 Division of the Nigerian Army, Ishaku Sabastine, confirmed the incident on Wednesday.
While narrating how the vigilantes were killed, the Publicity Secretary of Berom Youth Movement , Rwang Tengwong, told journalists that “the victims who were on surveillance were “suddenly waylaid by the gunmen. The gunmen first shot two of the vigilantes. So, when four of their colleagues went to evacuate them, they were also gunned down. This brings the total to six.”
The state governor, Caleb Mutfuwang, has condemned the latest attacks and assured that the government would do everything possible to arrest the situation, calling an all and sundry in the state to remain calm.
