1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 The clashes between farmers and herders in Nigeria particularly in the middle belt have led to grave human rights and humanitarian crisis. The clashes have resulted in fatalities, injuries, displacements, destruction of livelihoods as well as properties and this has heightened religious and ethnic hostilities within the region.
1.2 With a record of over 1800 fatalities within the first half of 2018 alone, the fatality rate relating to farmer-herder clashes is higher than that attributed to the Boko Haram insurgency.
