At least 40 people were killed in an attack by Muslim gunmen on a Christian farming community in Nigeria's Plateau state. President Bola Tinubu ordered an investigation into the incident, which is part of a troubling trend of violence driven by land resource conflicts. The attack highlights ongoing sectarian tensions between Christian farmers and predominantly Muslim herders. Local reports suggest the death toll may rise as victims were taken by surprise. Despite the government's assertions of increased security measures, the frequency of such attacks raises concerns about the efficacy of responses to the crisis.
