# Gunmen over the weekend killed 25 people in two attacks across north-central Nigeria’s Benue state. This is the latest violence in a region known for deadly land disputes and reprisals. Attackers killed 14 people yesterday in the community of Ankpali. Muslim ethnic Fulani nomadic herders have long clashed with settled farmers, many of whom are Christian, in Benue over access to land and resources. In a recent report, Amnesty International tallied six-thousand-896 people killed over the last two years in Benue.
