The police in Katsina has confirmed that one Ibrahim Lawal, 27, of Tigirmis village in Batagarawa Local Government Area died in a clash between farmers and Fulani herdsmen.

The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP. Aminu Abubakar, confirmed the clash and the death to newsmen on Wednesday.

Abubakar said the herdsmen were on transit to Kano State from Jibia Local Government when the incident happened.

He said the nomads had obtained permission to pass through the village through the officials of Miyatti-Allah Cattle Breeders Association in the state.

The spokesman said that the deceased allegedly confronted the herdsmen and tried to prevent them from passing through his farm, resulting in the conflict.

He said the deceased was shot with a dane gun by the nomads and he eventually died in the hospital.

He said that investigation was ongoing, and urged the people in the area to remain calm and go about their normal businesses. (NAN)
