Herders attacked Aye-Twar community in Katsina-Ala LGA, Benue State, halting Sunday church service.
Armed pastoralists from neighboring Kogi and Taraba states attacked the farming village of Udeni Gida in Nasarawa State. The attackers besieged the village, opened fire on unsuspecting villagers, and burned scores of houses and crops. The violence was a direct reprisal for a clash on 6 December 2009, when a herdsman led his cattle into a rice field, resulting in the death of a farmer. Police who had been deployed after the initial clash were withdrawn a few days before the 18 December attack, believing the fighting was over.
