Communal Clash Claims 11 Lives In Nasarawa, 52 Houses Burnt

About 11 people have been confirmed dead, 52 houses burnt following a reprisal attack by hoodlums in Akyawa and Udege Kasa communities in Nasarawa State.

The incident, which occurred on Friday, involved hoodlums suspected of carrying out a reprisal attack over the alleged killing of two of their kinsmen.

The attacks come barely a week after a violent clash between a vigilante and suspected Fulani herdsmen in Aso Pada, which led to the death of at least five persons, while several houses and vehicles were destroyed.

Reacting to the attack, the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima Mohammed, expressed concern over the tragic incident.
