Two brothers have sustained severe machete cuts following an attack by suspected herders in Kukawa Local Government Area of the state.

The incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday when the victims, identified as Abba Gana Tijani, 40, and his younger brother, Kaka Abubakar Tijani, 35, were attacked while working on their farm at Mile 90 bush, Kukawa.

The victims had reportedly confronted some herders who attempted to graze their cattle on their crops, an encounter that escalated into violence.

“The herders, now at large, became infuriated after being stopped from grazing and brought out machetes with which they attacked the two brothers, inflicting deep cuts on their heads and right legs,” the sources stated.

Troops alongside joint a patrol team, Civilian Joint Task Force, and hunters, mobilised to the scene and documented the incident.

The victims were evacuated to the General Hospital, Monguno, where they were hospitalised and are responding to treatment.

Sources said efforts were ongoing to trace and arrest the fleeing suspects through engagements with Fulani leaders and farming communities in the area.

“Both parties have been cautioned against reprisals as security agencies intensify surveillance to prevent escalation,” said the sources.
