Some suspected armed robbers on Sunday morning attacked the home of a Jalingo businessman, killing one of his children and seriously injuring another.

The businessman, one Mr Texas, popularly known as Test and See and his wife according to a family source had left for one of the pentecostal churches close to their home at Mayo Dassa area leaving behind the two children locked in the house.

The source explained that the robbers gained access into the house through the fence and attacked children before ransacking the entire house.

They thereafter carted away cash kept in the house.

The management of Federal Medical Centre, Jalingo has since confirmed the death of one of the kids who is a boy while the daughter was under intensive care.

However, Taraba State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Deputy Superintendent of Police, David Missal, did not respond to either calls and texts messages sent to his phone to confirm if any arrest had been made in connection with the incident.
