Rampant Violence: Gunmen and Herders Kill Scores in Nigeria

Gunmen killed at least 50 people in two attacks on Umogidi village in Benue state, Nigeria. The motive of the attacks is unclear, but authorities suspect local herdsmen who have clashed with farmers over land disputes in the past. Benue state, known as "Nigeria's food basket," has been hit hard by clashes between agrarian communities and nomadic cattle herders, leading to decreased agricultural yields and further impoverishing families in the region.
