Some gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have again attacked a minor seminary school in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, shooting a priest and beating two others severely.
Rev. Fr. Evaristus Bassey, Director of Caritas Nigeria, an agency of the Catholic Church, revealed this in a WhatsApp message to newsmen on Monday after the incident.
“Please Frs, pray for us. Our minor seminary in Jalingo has just been attacked by the Fulani, some students are injured, some cars destroyed, two priests beaten and one shot on the leg,” he said.
While the persons injured were said to be receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, Jalingo, it was not yet clear if people were killed.
This is coming exactly a month after the Fulani herdsmen attacked St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Ukpor-Mbalom Parish, Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue State, killing two Catholic priests and 17 parishioners.
