A deadly clash between Mambilla residents and Fulani pastoralists in Taraba State has claimed at least seven lives, destroyed over 340 homes, and left more than 1,000 residents displaced. The violence erupted in Geroji settlements in Mbamnga ward of Sardauna Local Government Area following a dispute between a Mambilla woman and a Fulani man.
The unrest quickly spread to neighboring communities and led to the death of 186 livestock and forced hundreds of people, including women and children, to flee their homes and seek refuge in neighboring Cameroon. The Chairman of the Sardauna LGA, Alhaji Mohammed Umar, confirmed that security forces have been deployed to the affected area and appealed for assistance from federal authorities, non-governmental organizations, and the international community to support the resettlement, rehabilitation, and reintegration of the victims.
