Since Monday night, attacks by armed men on villages in the Mangu district, in Plateau state, “have left more than 100 people dead”, the representative of this district, Daput Minister Daniel, told AFP.

The previous day, authorities reported 85 deaths and dozens of hospitalized injuries.

The northwest and central regions of Nigeria have become a regular scene of tensions and conflicts between farmers and herders over the use of land and water. In recent years, these tensions have been worsened by demographic pressure and the effects of climate change.
