There is anxiety in Plateau State over the plot by some fifth columnists to renew the farmers-herders clash.
The said plot was designed to disrupt the relative peace being enjoyed in the state.
It was learnt that those forces are behind the recent intermittent attacks on innocent villagers in the past few weeks. The latest was Monday’s attack on Hawal Shuaibu in Dorowa village while grazing his cattle.
Security agencies are on the trail of the plotters who are suspected to be highly-placed in the society.
A top source, who spoke in confidence, said: “intelligence report indicated that there are plans to attack Fulani herders and their cattle in order to set them against innocent farmers, especially in Berom communities.
