Fulani communities in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State have reportedly paid N4.5 million in compensation to 38 farmers following the destruction of their farms and crops by herders and their cows in Dambwash, Danbukor and Fokko villages of the council.
The compensation payment, which was facilitated by the Commander of Sector 5 of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) in Bokkos, followed an earlier agreement reached on August 19, 2026, after the farms were reportedly destroyed by the herders.
The Fulani Ardo of Tarangol District, Isa Shiga Dajji, who was part of the negotiations, confirmed the payment, saying the move was meant to promote mutual understanding and serve as a deterrent to others who do not want peace to exist between local communities and herding communities.
He noted that the compensation was paid in tranches and that the latest payment was the final instalment, calling on both farmers and herders to remain calm and embrace one another.
