Suspected Fulani herdsmen who raided Gwon, Bolki and Nzumosu communities in Numan local government area of Adamawa State, are reportedly holding dozens of women captive.

According to Daily Trust, locals scampered to safety in the bush, as the suspected Fulani herdsmen took dozens of women captive in the raid which numbers of casualties is yet to be ascertained.

“There are soldiers in Abbare, yet these attackers will always mobilise from that Abbare”, Daily Trust quoted her as saying.
“There is never a time they attack and I don’t called security agents as member representing the constituency.
“I just called the Brigade Commander again and he assured me that troops are on their way to the area”.

The Lawmaker further added that even if the soldiers get there, they may not be able to reach the affected villages due to current flooding of the area.
