11 people have reportedly died in Nasarawa state following an attack by Fulani herdsmen.

They were also said to have burnt down buildings in the village and laid ambush on the Keana-Korta Road, where they shot at people on sight.

The incident has been confirmed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ismaila Numan who however said that only three people had been killed.

Another reprisal attack related to the same incident is said to have left 28 people dead in Benue.
