At least 55 people have been killed by Fulani herdsmen in Lau local government area of Taraba State.

25 bodies were recovered and given a mass burial on Tuesday when journalists and a media assistant to the governor, Bala Dan Abu, visited the affected area.

Policemen and soldiers are currently patrolling the area.

“Herdsmen are killing people in Lau, my state,” Governor Darius Ishaku told newsmen in a telephone Tuesday night.
