FRESH ATACK IN BENUE: At least 100 people killed by gunmen in north-central Nigeria.
The attack took place between late Friday and the early hours of Saturday in Yelewata, a community in the Guma area of the state
Udeme Edet, a spokesperson of the police in Benue, confirmed that an attack took place in Yelewata, but did not specify how many people were killed.
While it remains unclear who was responsible for the killings, such attacks are common in Nigeria’s northern region where local herders and farmers often clash over limited access to land and water.
The farmers accuse the herders, mostly of Fulani origin, of grazing their livestock on their farms and destroying their produce.
