Residents of Tse-Akumen in Donga Local Government Area of Taraba State were thrown into mourning on monday evening following the killing of Mr. Peverga Abar by suspected Fulani militias. The incident has raised fresh concerns over security in the region.

A community leader said, “We are devastated. This attack shows the urgent need for stronger security in our villages.”
