Fresh crisis broke out on Tuesday in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, leading to fears that at least 37 people may have been killed.

This is coming less than three days after four herdsmen were killed in the same area by unknown gunmen.

According to Channels Television, many people were also injured, some seriously, in the renewed violence on Tuesday.

A witness said some Fulani youths attacked Ungwan Uka village in Kajuru LGA to avenge the death of the herdsmen that were allegedly killed by some of the village youths.

Agyole Abeh, Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, confirmed the incident but added that policemen and soldiers had been deployed to the troubled area to ensure peace returns to the community.

Southern Kaduna has been in the news for a long time now as a result of incessant violent clashes between herdsmen and farmers.

Of late, the crisis has dangerously assumed religious sentiments as both Christian and Muslim leaders in the state have traded blames as to who is fuelling the violence.
