Hindi Livinus, YolaThe Adamawa State Police Command has said 27 persons were killed in an overnight clash between farmers and Fulani herdsmen at Safere and Kodomti villages, in Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa State on Monday. Victims were mostly women and children, and the event preceded Tuesday’s suicide bomb blast that rocked the mosque in Mubi, killing 50 persons, with several others wounded. Though the police confirmed the herdsmen-farmers’ clash, on Tuesday it did not give casualty figure. The Police First Information Report showed it was a reprisal attack on the part of the Fulanis by some Bachama farmers,” he said. However, the Adamawa State Police Commissioner, Moses Jitibo, who spoke through its spokesman, has said the Police were monitoring the situation.
