Asabe Moses, a survivor of a herdsmen attack in Plateau State, has recounted the harrowing night her family was ambushed while asleep, leading to the brutal killing of her husband and three children.
Speaking through an interpreter on AriseTV News Night, she narrated how the attackers stormed her house and killed her family.
"She said that she was sleeping in the night, and Fulani herdsmen came in the night and were killing them and burning their houses," the translator said.
The translator recounted her statement on how she knew they were Fulani herdsmen, saying: "That night that they came, they were speaking their dialect. After speaking their dialect, they said, 'Where is your God? We are going to kill you today. We are going to burn your house.' They killed her three sons—one was 14 years old, one was 10, and the last one just two years."
They were also said to have killed her husband and burned their house.
This development comes amid an escalating crisis across the country.
In the first week of April, SaharaReporters, citing local officials, reported that the death toll from a series of violent attacks in the Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State had risen to 52.
Among the victims were five children, who were reportedly burned to ashes in Hurti village.
Other fatalities included 11 in Ruwi, four in Manguna, and one in Daffo village.
