Suspected Fulani herdsmen on Thursday killed four persons in Taraba State.
The killings came 10 hours after Governor Darius Ishaku alerted on the attack.
The gunmen attacked Ngutwsem village in Gassol Local Government Area on Thursday night.
The victims included one Mr. Shiriga Vaawombo and his wife Ngunan.
A family relative, who witnessed the incident, said: “When the couple heard gun shots, they crawled out of a room where they were sleeping.
“The husband took the wife to a place he thought was safer. He was returning to pick up their baby when the invaders shot him. His wife then cried out from where she was hiding. She was gunned down too.”
The late Vaawombo’s second wife, Iveren, 35, was all tears on Friday.
The woman said that she had traveled to Sabon Gida when the killers invaded their home.
