The Fulanis agreed that they had been misled by external forces. They agreed to bury their differences and live together as one, for the good of the community.

Armed separatists attacked the Mbororo community in Wum on the night of the 30th and 31st of May 2019, killing one of their leaders, burning down over 40 houses and killed their animals (Mbororos main source of income).

On the 2nd of June, the Mbororo community along with some Hausas retaliated on the people of Naikom, killing two, wounding four and setting fire to over 100 houses. The acts of violence were conducted in the presence of gendarmerie officers, who filmed the acts and shared on social media.

On the other hand, the Mbororo community is said to have attacked the people of Naikom on accusations that they are hosting armed separatists in their neihhbourhood.

Government intervened in the escalating violence in Wum, promising to compensate all the victims of the said attacks, and arresting the culprits.
