Christian Farmers Fear Returning to Their Fields in Plateau State After Fulani Militias Kill 27
Source excerpt
For many Christian farmers in Irigwe communities in Plateau state, Nigeria, traveling to their farms has become dangerous. Some have stopped going altogether. Others now move in groups, hoping that numbers will offer some protection. But for families who depend on agriculture for survival, abandoning their land is not an easy choice. The fear has grown following a series of attacks in Bassa Local Government Area, where community leaders said armed men suspected to be Fulani militias have targeted farmers traveling to and from their fields.
