The tension of reprisal attack has ravaged four villages in Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa State as the villagers are deserting their homes.
Residents of communities which include Kikan, Kwodomti, Shafaran and Ketwul have abandoned their homes, seeking safety elsewhere due to rumoured attack by Fulani herdsmen.
The fleeing residents who spoke with Channels Television correspondent said some Fulani herdsmen were spotted lurking around their communities after recent clashes between Fulani herdsmen and farmers which led to the loss of lives and animals. They alleged that the herdsmen were armed and planning a reprisal attack.
They hinge their fear on the killing of a farmer by suspected herdsmen resulting in a reprisal attack on the Fulani herdsmen settlement by the farming communities of Shafaron, Kodomti and Kikan.
However, the herdsmen denied this allegation. One of them who spoke with Channels Television denied the rumour. He accused the farming communities of killing their children and animals.
