According to media reports about six months ago, it was revealed that more than 15, 000 persons fled their homes and taken refuge in IDP camps in Taraba state. The individuals who are mostly farmers, fled their communities due to renewed attacks by suspected Fulani herdsmen. Suspected herdsmen had launched deadly attacks on Gazabu, Kungana, Tukun Ruwa, Utsua Daa and Kpenkpen villages, among others, leaving at least 11 people dead and scores injured.
