Nigeria Gunmen Kill Over 100, Worsening Food Crisis
Amnesty International Nigeria reported that at least 100 people were killed in a nighttime attack on Yelewata village in Benue state. The attack, occurring between Friday and Saturday, left dozens missing and hundreds injured, with many victims burned alive in their homes. While police confirmed the attack, the perpetrators remain unidentified, though such violence is common in the region due to ongoing farmer-herder conflicts over land and resources. The conflict stems from differing claims to land usage, with recent similar attacks in neighboring states highlighting the escalating crisis.
