The 2021 Nasarawa massacre was an attack by Fulani herdsmen gunmen on Tiv civilians that occurred on December 20, 2021, in the state of Nasarawa, Nigeria. The herdsmen killed approximately 52 people according to eyewitnesses in 12 different villages,[1] although the death toll was initially put at least 20 by the Tiv Development Association.[2]
Prior to the attack, the conflict had been happening for decades due to overgrazing and farming in what they deemed communal areas. Overtime, it had acquired religious undertones with the Fulani being Muslim and the Tivs' mostly Christian.
