The  paramount ruler  thanked the delegation for the visit but raised a fresh alarm  that Fulani herdsmen have sent  letters to two villages in his domain, promising to attack them. He appealed to government to tighten security in the area.

Honourable Lumsambani Dili, member representing Demsa constituency in the Adamawa state House  of Assembly said it remains a no-go  area, as the Fulani herdsmen were still hiding in the bush, preparing to launch  fresh attacks.

The delegation also visited primary schools where the victims are being sheltered. While there, they delivered President Muhammadu Buhari’s message.

Victims of the attack who spoke through their representatives said leaders’ seeming carefree attitude was responsible for the massacre by the Fulani herdsmen.

They appealed to the Federal Government to provide enough security, so that they can return to their ancestral homes to continue with their farming activities.
