A Catholic priest, Rev. Godwin Tyragher, who shared the sad news on Facebook, said proper treatment would have saved the child.

“This my parishioners,one of the IDPs at Daudu camp lost her only son this morning.pls may u kindly continue to pray and support IDPs especially those who are sick among them.Ordinarily if proper medical attention is given to this child, he couldn’t have died”

The state had experienced series of attacks by Fulani herdsmen,  leading to the killing of hundreds of people, with thousands currently displaced from their ancestral lands.
