 Genocide and Nigerian Arrny massacre of Tiv civilians in central Nigeria.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Tiv are mainly Christians and were one of the non-Muslim minorities in Northern Nigeria that vehemently opposed Hausa-Fulani influence and prevented the spread of Islam to southern parts of Nigeria.
The claim has been that Tiv people who reside in Nasarawa and Taraba states are there as settlers or immigrants or non-indigenous and must therefore relocate to present day Benue State where a large number of Tiv people live, losing all their ancestral farmlands.
The Tiv further alleged that elements of 4 motorised battalions of the Nigerian army based in Takum, Taraba State are backing their Jukun militia with the approval of Nigeria's Minister of Defence, retired Lt. General Yakubu Danjuma, who is a Jukun.

Besides, the Tiv people who hitherto had lived in isolated/dispersed settlements, have since the commencement of the present democratic government embarked on reorganisation of their settlement in such a manner that will not only enhance their economic base but also assist government’s provision of social amenities.
Inspite of these, the Tiv impact continued to be felt, hence the decision to adopt violence to disrupt elections and ultimately to dispossess the Tiv of their lands and chase them out of the so-called land of Jukun and Alago.
Consequently, Tiv people were meted with all sorts of discrimination and marginalisation that culminated into silent and secret killings and inspite of all distress calls and complaints, no measures were taken by the law enforcement agents to nib in the bud the atrocities committed on the Tiv race in Nasarawa State.
