Violence hits food production, prices in Nigeria

Worshippers stand in the destroyed St Peter Catholic Church following attacks by Fulani herdsmen at the Agatu community in Benue State

Obagaji (Nigeria) - Anyebe Peter has only recently returned to his farm in central Nigeria, nearly three months after attacks by Fulani herdsmen killed seven villagers, destroyed 250 homes and forced survivors to flee.

"Nothing is left for us either on our farm or in our village after the attack," he told AFP in Adagbo, a stone's throw from the Benue river that forms the border between Benue and Nasarawa states.
