The Police authorities in Taraba State say it has evacuated an all-boys Catholic seminary in the state following an invasion of the premises by suspected herdsmen.

Suspected Fulani herdsmen reportedly attacked the minor seminary located in Jalingo, the state capital, beating two Catholic priests and shooting another in the leg.

Confirming the attack, the Taraba State commissioner of Police, David Akinremi blamed the suspected herdsmen, who had previously had a dispute with the management of the seminary over their grazing activities in and around the premises.
