Local sources contacted report that the assailants, believed to be members of the Fulani tribe, came at around 2am, attacking the Berom communities in the villages of Katu Kapang, Daron, Tul and Rawuru. Those killed included a one-year-old boy shot at close range, a four-year old and several women and other children, villagers told local media.
