Trouble started when the herdsmen mobilized themselves with dangerous weapons, and attacked residents of Darwat hamlet of the community for apprehending one of their own that grazed into more than 10 farm lands on that fateful day.
Eye witnesses claim that as a result, one Davou Mwatep, aged 32 was allegedly beaten and stabbed to death while Dachomo Ishaya sustained fatal injuries in his two hands.
Both residents were attacked on a retaliatory move on the 10th of October while Ishaya who escaped death has been rushed to the hospital where he has been receiving treatment since then.
Personnel of Operation Rainbow alongside local security outfits were quickly informed so the situation does not deteriorate even as Operation Safe Haven from Sector 6 was also informed about the development.
Rainbow and safe heaven personnel had to rush to the scene because of the high tension mounting already in the affected villages to contend with the tragic incident.
This incident precedes a previous invasion of villages in Mangor community of Bokkos council area where over 20 homes were allegedly burnt down by the attacking Fulani who stormed the area after killing 4 in Butura of the same vicinity.
With these incessant invasions, affected villagers are calling for drastic security measures to stem the tide of the bloodletting mission of the Fulani herders and their banditing cousins who are bent on driving residents away from their land.
