Sixteen people were killed in an
attack in Nigeria’s north-central state of Plateau, where
clashes between herders and farmers are common, the AFP News
Agency said on Sunday, citing the Nigerian army.
The attack occurred in the village of Mushu, AFP said in a
post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
The Nigerian army did not immediately respond to a
Reuters request for comment.
Plateau is one of several ethnically and religiously
diverse hinterland states known as Nigeria’s Middle Belt, where
inter-communal conflict has claimed hundreds of lives in recent
years.
