A deadly communal clash between villagers and Fulani herders in Jigawa State has left at least nine people dead and four others injured.
The conflict, which occurred in Miga and Jahun Local Government Areas, started when suspected thieves broke into a shop in Gululu village, Miga LGA, stealing hibiscus and other provisions.
Villagers traced the suspects to a Fulani settlement in Yankunama village, Jahun LGA, where tensions escalated. The herders allegedly attacked the villagers with bows and arrows, critically injuring four. In retaliation, the villagers burned several homes in the Fulani settlement.
The police have deployed officers to restore order and prevent further violence. Investigations are underway to identify those responsible for the clash.
