At least 100 villagers have been killed in Nigeria's central Kaduna state in attacks linked to disputes between ethnic groups, officials say.

Heavily armed men entered three villages in the Kaura district in the south of the state.

It is not clear who was behind the attacks, but residents blame herdsmen from the Fulani community.

Central Nigeria has often witnessed violence stemming from disputes over land and religion.

Different state, but a similar fight involving herdsmen. With this and Boko Haram, Nigeria seems to be in chaos.
