'Attackers now occupying our territory' - Displaced Nasarawa community cries out

More than 80 people were killed in coordinated attacks in Udege Development Area, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Survivors say the attackers, whom they identify as heavily armed Fulani herders, now occupy the deserted communities and graze cattle there. They reject the government's 'communal clash' narrative and accuse authorities of covering up a deliberate conquest. President Tinubu's special assistant, Dr. Abiodun Essiet, visited the area, but displaced villagers fear the public is losing interest while attacks continue on farmlands.
