Rampant Violence Claims Dozens of Lives in Nigeria's Benue State

Gunmen attacked a rural village in Benue State, Nigeria, killing at least 51 people and leaving several others missing. The motive behind the attack is unclear, but clashes between farmers and herders are common in the region. The armed gang reportedly began the attack in the village market, and many people were gunned down while trying to hide in the bush. The region has been one of the hardest hit by the deadly clashes, despite the deployment of security forces.
