At least six S/East people were reportedly killed in separate clashes between farmers and herdsmen in Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State. The first incident occurred on Wednesday when some herdsmen damaged a farm in Sangere, a suburb of Yola, the Adamawa State capital. Witnesses said a security guard named Gibson Nathan who was engaged by the owner of the farm challenged the herders for encroaching on the farm. They responded by “attacking and killing him,” a resident of the area said. The resident also said the herders “hacked Nathan to death with their sharp axes beyond recognition before leaving the scene”
Similarly, four members of the same family were reportedky attacked and killed in their farm by some herdsmen on Friday at Tudun-Hassan Village, adjacent to the popular Malkohi IDP’s Camp also in Yola South Local Government Area. Trouble began for the farmers when a group of herdsmen led their cattle Into the farm and began destroying the farm products. 
“By the time they asked the rearers what informed their illegal action, the next thing was physical assault using dangerous weapons which resulted to their untimely deaths,” a witness, Baba Abdul, said. He alleged that a policeman who was living close to the farm “rushed to offer help but was also killed by the herdsmen.”
