Gunmen yesterday killed a nursing mother and her four children in Yong
village in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State. The
development followed a denial by the state National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC) and the state government that over 50 corps members were killed
in a bomb blast at their Orientation Camp. The family of five were
killed in their farm near their house.
The Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Ladan, confirmed the incident to
reporters. One of the children was reported to have died later in the
hospital.
Our correspondent learnt that the tragedy occurred in the early hours
of yesterday.
Ladan said their bodies were found on the farm with gunshot wounds.
The widower, Mr. Luke Jumtuk, said his wife and children were killed
while working on their farm behind his house.
