Four persons are feared to have died in the clash between the herdsmen and farmers in Minda, Lau Local Government Area of Taraba State on Thursday.
The development has been confirmed by the police.
According to eye witnesses, trouble started when a farmer in the village apprehended a herdsman grazing on his guinea corn farm.

A passerby who attempted to intervene was also said to have been killed by the herdsman.
