Two Village Heads, Three Others Killed As Gunmen Attack Taraba Villages

At least five people have been killed after gunmen invaded communities in Karim Lamido local government area of Taraba state.

Those killed are two village heads, the chairman of a vigilante group and two other persons.

The chairman of the council told channels television correspondent in Taraba that about 30 gunmen invaded two communities and killed the village heads of Bailango 1 and Bailango 2 in old muri chiefdom on Monday night.

He said that after killing the leader of a vigilante group, the attackers abducted his three children, after setting their house ablaze.
