At least 17 people were killed when suspected cattle herders attacked communities in central Nigeria's Benue State on Thursday, police said, amid a resurgence of deadly clashes between farmers and herders. The latest attacks came two days after 11 people were killed in the Otukpo area of Benue and barely a week after gunmen attacked villages and killed more than 50 people in neighbouring Plateau State. A separate group of suspected herdsmen shot and killed five farmers around Gbagir in Benue's Ukum Local Government Area, early on Friday, police said.
