In the latest case of violence plaguing central Nigeria’s Benue state, gunmen killed at least 15 people and injured several others.
Benue state is part of Nigeria’s so-called Middle Belt region, which has seen clashes between farmers and herders over land and natural resources, as well as kidnapping for ransom by armed criminals known locally as “bandits”.
Clashes between nomadic cattle herders and farmers over land use are common in central Nigeria.
