One person has been injured, and sixty-two houses destroyed after suspected herders attacked farming communities in Bali Local Government Area of Taraba State.
Some residents say the attack followed a dispute about a source of water located between Tor Bali and Atongo villages
The chairman of Bali Local Government Area, Aboki Dauda, who confirmed the incident said trouble started when a woman went to the pond to fetch water, where she was allegedly beaten by the herders.
The State Government has however said it will not tolerate any breach of peace in the form of communal clashes or any farmers vs herders conflicts to scuttle its peace efforts.
