Gunmen kill pregnant woman in community clash
A stray bullet kills a pregnant woman when Fulani gunmen reportedly visited the Awe community in Nasarawa State.
She was killed during an attack carried out on Monday, August 13, 2018. The assailants also waged war against Tiv farmers in Awe, a local government located in the state.
According to a report by Punch News, the deceased was hit by a stray bullet fired to scare away the residents in the community.
“Last week Monday night, some Fulani herders suspected to be from Wurgan-Dogo stormed Tse Shiga aka Gidan Soja in their numbers, shooting sporadically as we scampered for our dear lives. One person was killed and many others injured," Obasanjo Akaahan who survived the attack tells Punch.
