In the heat of clashes between natives of Tiv-land and fulani herdsmen,an alarming and very disturbing approach has been taken by the locals to scare the resilient visitors,staking a claim in a land far from history of their ancestors.this video shows a tip of the iceberg of barbaric horrors,happening at the once peaceful and agricultaral fertile middle belt state. the mayhem was believed to have resulted from the complaints of local farmers that the fulani herdsmen damage their farms and destroy the produce with their un controlled or misguided flocks. the TIVS are known for their skilled production of yams and cassava leading to the state's slogan 'food basket of the nation'. over five hundred people from both parties are believed to have died from the two weeks+ long fightings. the state governor in a press release last tuesday claimed that the security forces are on high alert and the situation is under control.
