Over 15people were feared dead as armed herdsmen numbering over 400 reportedly attacked and burnt down four villages of Bolki, Bang, Zumoso and Gon in Numan and Lamurde local government areas of Adamawa State, local sources told Daily Sun.

According to locals, the herdsmen militia were reported to have arrived the communities, on Wednesday night, on motocycles and hilux trucks, killing and burning down villages.
