There was tension in Gwadabawa community of Sokoto State following a violent communal clash between Hausa and Fulani people in the area.
MAIDAWAAREWA reports that the violence on Friday led to the death of many locals from both sides including a security operative (a soldier).
A local official in the community, Aminu Gwadabawa told VOA Hausa in an interview on Saturday that people in the area are currently living in fear.
“They are afraid of reprisal attacks from the Fulani bandits,” the source adds.
According to another source: “the Fulani attacked my relative with knives. But he has spiritual powers that would not allow sharp objects to pierce his skin. So, they intensified the attack on him and succeeded in hacking his head off his body.”
