At least 15 people have been killed and several home burnt down by suspected Fulani herders in the eastern Nigerian state of Taraba, police quoted by the BBC, said.
About 20 people invaded and attacked Dori and Mesuma villages on Sunday forcing people to flee into neighboring villages, state police spokesman Kwaji Joseph said.
"Eight people were killed in Dori while seven were also killed in Mesuma," he told the BBC.
The attack is the latest in a long-running dispute over grazing rights in Nigeria between Fulani and farmers in which several people lost their lives.
