According to eyewitness account, the incident was a spill over of the recent clash between Fulani herdsmen and Eggon farmers at Fa­daman Bauna in Lafia Lo­cal Government Area of the state ,where many lives were lost and property worth mil­lions of naira destroyed.

When Daily Sun visited the Fulani herdsmen’s settle­ments along Akwanga Road in Nasarawa Eggon yester­day, houses were still burn­ing while the herdsmen had deserted their homes.

Some herdsmen, who sur­vived the attack, were seen taking refuge near Falke filling station in Akwanga. Most of them, who declined comments on the incident, were seen with their cattle making houses for their families.

However, it was gathered that the crisis started when a Fulani herdsman took his cattle into an Eggon farm.

When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Umar Numan (ASP), said no ca­sualty was recorded in the incident, adding that only three Fulani herdsmen were injured during the clash.
