One killed, many injured as farmers, herders clash in Jigawa
One person has been reported killed and many others injured in a violent clash between farmers and herders in Birnin Kudu Local Government Area of Jigawa State.
The state chairman of Miyatti Allah, the Fulani socio-cultural organisation, Sa’idu Gagarawa, told PREMIUM TIMES Thursday morning that many people were also injured in the attack. Mr Gagarawa accused government officials from the Ministry of Land and Ministry of Environment of colluding with local traditional rulers to evict Fulani herders from their settlement and selling the land to wealthy individuals.
He said the Fulani shifted all business transactions, including buying and selling of livestock, as well as hawking of Fura and Nono by Fulani women, to neighbouring Kano State. He said some officials took advantage of the illiteracy of the herders in allegedly persecuting and duping them.
