Farmers across the country have expressed fears that the rising costs of food items in the various markets will worsen this year owing to the activities of killer Fulani herdsmen who have taken over farmlands in most parts of the country.

They lamented that the inability of the Federal Government to address the dangerous trend might cause starvation in most homes as the people would pay more to buy inadequate food items in the market.


The Chairman, Benue State chapter of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria, Aondoana Kuhe, who spoke on behalf of farmers in the state, told newsmen that the current unchecked attacks on his members in the state by the killer herdsmen would definitely cause famine in the country.

Kuhe lamented that most areas, where the food crops were cultivated, had been occupied by the herdsmen while farmers, who escaped being killed, had fled to urban communities, where there is relative safety.
