Clash erupts between herders and farmers in Jigawa’s Gagarawa LGA over farmland dispute

Conflict between some herders and farmers in Gagarawa Local Government Area, Jigawa State, in the Villages of Tudun Fulani and Dan Nani

The conflict originated after Hausa farmers alleged that a non-fulani individual entered one of their farms. This led to a confrontation, with the farmers pursuing the herder and involving local scholars.

In response, fulani herders mobilized to defend their village, as explained by the village head (Ardo) of Tudun Fulani.

Additionally, a herder residing in Tudun Fulani, whose identity has been withheld, shared how they spent the day hiding due to the security forces’ ongoing operations to capture individuals, including children and adults, for questioning.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Jigawa State Police Command stated that investigations are underway, and they will provide updates as soon as the investigation is concluded.
