POLICE say that at least 30 people have been killed in an attack on a Christian village by Muslim herdsmen in central Nigeria.
The attacks happened in Benue state, where the herdsmen burned a village of the Christian Tiv people. Benue police spokesman Daniel Ezeala said the attack occurred on Sunday morning and blamed the killings on land disputes between the two groups.
The Tiv represent one the largest of the minority ethnic groups in Nigeria, a nation of more than 160 million people and more than 250 different ethnicities.
The Tiv and the Hausa-Fulani herdsmen have previously fought over land in Benue. In December, authorities said fighting between the two groups displaced some 5000 people in Benue.
