Nine farmers in Ajimaka community, a Tiv settlement in Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, have been killed.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday.
Those massacred in Doma were Tsekaa Chiatyo, Kwaghdoo Tsekaa, Sewiesi Tsekaa Bobo Chiatyo, Aondosee Fidelis Aboy, Igba Aduku, and Iwuesi Aseer.
It was gathered that the gunmen stormed the community at exactly 2am on Saturday, shooting sporadically into the air and chanting war songs.
President, Tiv Development Association (TIDA) in Nasarawa state, Comrade Peter Ahemba, who confirmed the incident, described it as unfortunate.
He regretted that the attacks on Tiv people of the state, particularly those living at the border areas between Benue and Nasarawa states, have become a recurrent decimal despite efforts by the Nasarawa state governor, Abdullahi Sule and his Benue counterpart, Dr. Samuel Ortom, to ensure lasting peace.
