According to sources that pleaded  anonymity, “the attack became a confirmation on security early warning given last week that the site will be invaded by Fulani militias, buy the victims took the information for granted,” he said. 

The same source also narrated that, “were it not that most of the miners gave heed to the early warning that made them vacate the site every evening time, it would have been very devastating,” that’s why the incident could not affect many people even though injuries were sustained.

Shortly after security agents were alerted about the attack, personnel of Operation Safe Haven from Tenti swung into action and curtailed further casualty.

They also rushed the victims to Barkin Ladi General Hospital, where they are currently receiving medical attention.
