Nasarawa Tiv flee to Benue
There is an influx of Tiv residents from Nasarawa State into Benue State, following sustained attacks by suspected Fulani militia, The Nation has learnt.
Suspected Fulani herdsmen are said to have launched attacks on Tiv indigenes in Nasarawa State.
The busy Lafia/Makurdi road has been overtaken by victims of Fulani attacks who are heading towards Benue.
Areas mostly affected are Kadarko, Awe town and the border communities.
Women with children on their backs were seen trekking long distances, looking tired and hungry. Some of the children were half-naked, just as men carrying mattresses and personal belongings also fled.
