On Sunday, a Fulani settlement in the Tilli community of Bunza Local Government Area of Kebbi State was reported to have killed no fewer than 10 herders in a reprisal attack.
Following the killing of a vigilante member by the Lakurawa bandits, a local informed Channels Television that the area was the site of a reprisal attack.
Over ten of the Fulani who lived in the area were killed, and several of them suffered injuries in a raid carried out on them by some suspected community members who were present during the raid.
According to a source, “the reprisal attack was carried out in error.” They believed that the vigilante man’s death was brought about by the Fulani.
They attacked them in their settlement, they said. Several of them suffered injuries, while the others received more than 10 fatalities. He said that they are still looking for victims of the attack who might have been killed.
He added that Umar Tafida, the deputy governor of Kebbi State, and the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association’s leadership were present in the area to offer condolences to the families of the victims of the attack.
Nafiu Abubakar, the Kebbi State Police Command’s public relations officer, claimed he was unaware of the incident and promised to update his investigation once he had found out.

Cabinet is shuffled by the governor.
In the course of a minor cabinet reshuffle, Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris has approved the redeployment of two commissioners.
This was stated in a statement that Yakubu Tafida, the SSG’s secretary, made available to journalists on Monday in Birnin Kebbi.
The Tafida believes that the redeployment is in line with the Governor’s plan to reposition the civil service to enable state-wide service delivery.
Samaila Yakubu Augie, who was previously Commissioner for Solid Minerals before being replaced by Garba Warah, has been redeployed to the Ministry of Internal Security, which has been vacant for months due to Yunusa Ismail’s suspension for negligence of duty.
