The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested two suspects following a violent clash between farmers and herders in Farin Dutse, Nasarawa LGA. The violence erupted on March 9, 2025, after a confrontation led to the killing of a resident, Friday Danladi Jike, allegedly by Sani Allah Gaba.
In response, Commissioner of Police, CP Shettima Jauro Mohammed, deployed security forces, who rescued a victim from an angry mob. However, the mob vandalized a police vehicle and burned a Ruga settlement, resulting in the death of Azumi Allah Gaba and her unborn child.
On March 10, 2025, suspected herders launched a retaliatory attack on Farin Dutse, burning houses and causing more casualties. The police intervened, rescuing three injured victims and recovering six bodies.
To prevent further violence, additional security personnel have been deployed. The police assured residents of their safety and ongoing efforts to apprehend all perpetrators.
