Nigeria's violence kills 19, displaces 4,500
              
A Nigerian official announced on Tuesday that attacks on three communities in central Nigeria left 19 people dead and displaced some 4,500 others.                 

The local official added that 19 people including women and children were killed by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen in attacks on three communities on Saturday-Sunday overnight.                 

He added that some 4,500 were displaced and two camps had been set up to refuge them.              

Fulanis in the area are mostly nomadic herdsmen, while Atakar are mainly farmers. Land disputes often erupt between the two groups.          

Southern Kaduna state, where the attack took place, is located in the Middle Belt region dividing Nigeria's mainly Christian south and its mostly Muslim north.                       

It is believed that the weekend violence was in response to the poisoning of some herds by some local farmers over transcending into their farmlands."
