Investigations by The Nation in Safana, Dutsin-ma and Danmusa LGAs revealed that the bandits drew the first blood when they rustled cattle from the respective villages on Friday night. But villagers resisted them by burning Fulani settlements and chasing their remnants in the main lands away back to the forest. The bandits, in the forest, on learning about what happened to their fellow brothers, gathered about 300 hundred of them and started attacking the Hausa farmers. The Police however denied knowledge of any attack on truckloads carrying palliatives to Dutsinma. He however maintained that such scenario may not be ruled out given the series of exchanges between security operatives and the bandits at the time of distribution
