The Bauchi State Police Command also confirmed the incident via its spokesperson.


The State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmed Wakili, said nine people have been killed in the clash while six others were injured and are receiving treatment.


As gathered, the clash was over a piece of land in the village where the herdsmen have been grazing for several years.


According to sources, the land was to be converted to a farm by the Local Government, a development that did not go down well with the herdsmen.
