The authorities in Nigeria say at least 27 Fulani herders were killed in an explosion near the border between the central states of Nasarawa and Benue on Tuesday.

The police say they are investigating the cause of the explosion.

The area has seen frequent disputes over resources between pastoral and farming communities.

Some local media reported that the explosion may have been a botched air strike by the Nigerian military – but this has not been independently confirmed.
