They Asked Me ‘Where Is Your God?’ – Survivor Narrates How Herdsmen Killed Her Husband, Three Children In Plateau Midnight Attack
Asabe Moses, a survivor of a herdsmen attack in Plateau State, has recounted the harrowing night her family was ambushed while asleep, leading to the brutal killing of her husband and three children.
Speaking through an interpreter on AriseTV News Night, she narrated how the attackers stormed her house and killed her family.
“She said that she was sleeping in the night, and Fulani herdsmen came in the night and were killing them and burning their houses,” the translator said.
The translator recounted her statement on how she knew they were Fulani herdsmen, saying: “That night that they came, they were speaking their dialect. After speaking their dialect, they said, ‘Where is your God? We are going to kill you today. We are going to burn your house.’ They killed her three sons—one was 14 years old, one was 10, and the last one just two years.”
They were also said to have killed her husband and burned their house.
