Breaking News: A Nigerian Community Was Attacked By Cameroonians

Presently, Taraba State is currently in a state of anxiety. Some separatists from Cameroon with whom they share a border attacked a village. The attack claimed eleven lives and there are tons of missing people.

This tragedy occurred on Wednesday, 17 November 2021. The Manga village of Takum Local Council was attacked. According to reports, the village monarch was among those killed.

While speaking to newsmen, the late monarch’s brother stated that;

“My elder brother, who is the traditional ruler of the village, was killed. The foreign soldiers killed him in his palace before going ahead to kill other people in the community.”

Reacting to the event at the plenary, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha (PDP, Taraba South) raised a serious warning. He stated that some separatists are trying to take over the Manga Community in Takum Local Council of Taraba State. He mentioned that these separatists invading the community are from Southern Cameroon and they killed the village monarch.
