A woman, said to be a Tiv from Benue state, has been shot dead in a farm settlement at Orin community in Ido/Osi area of Ekiti state.
Community sources alleged that the attack, which took the life of the woman, was retaliatory, after a Fulani man was reportedly murdered in Oke-Ako by Tivs.
This is happening barely 24 hours after Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State summoned a peace meeting between the Fulani and Benue people in the state, where he warned against retaliatory attacks.
But reports from the community claimed that the alleged Fulani attackers had attacked the farm settlement at night and had shot the woman, said to be eight-months pregnant.
