Dozens of Fulani herders killed in Nigeria explosion

At least 27 Fulani herders have reportedly been killed in an explosion near the border between the central states of Nasarawa and Benue on Tuesday.

In a BBC.com report, the cause of the explosion is still being investigated.

The area has seen frequent disputes over resources between pastoral and farming communities.

However, some local reports believe the explosion may have been a 'botched air strike' by the Nigerian Military.
