“Trouble erupted when the villagers who are predominantly farmers, tried to prevent the herdsmen from moving their cattle through their farms”, he said.
The Fulanis were said to have retaliated for a previous killing of their kinsmen by the local farmers.
In March, at least 17 people, mostly women and children, were killed in similar violent attack in the state.
