A community in Bauchi State was thrown into fear after suspected herders reportedly attacked a resident and set several houses on fire. Locals said the incident happened late at night, leaving one person seriously injured. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital, while families fled their homes to avoid further harm.

Residents explained that the clash began after a disagreement between some herders and members of the community. What started as a small argument quickly turned violent, leading to destruction of property. People in the area described the attackers as armed and aggressive, forcing many to hide until security operatives arrived.

Community leaders have called on the government to take immediate action to prevent more attacks. They pleaded for tighter security, saying the people now live in fear. According to them, repeated clashes between herders and farmers have caused tension in the area for months, and urgent intervention is needed.

Authorities in Bauchi have confirmed the attack and promised to investigate. Security agencies have been deployed to the community to maintain peace and stop further violence. Residents are hoping the government can restore calm and protect them from future incidents.
