One of the most environmental issues confronting the Nigerian landscape is conflict between herdsmen and farmers. The competition between these two agricultural land user-groups, however, has often times turned into serious concealed and unconcealed manifestation of hostilities and social friction in many parts of Nigeria. The conflicts have demonstrated high potential to exacerbate the insecurity and food crisis particularly in rural communities where most of the conflicts are localized, with reverberating repercussions nationwide. This paper describes the challenges of Fulani herdsmen and farmers in the incessant resource conflicts and how it affects livelihood, security of those involved, population growth and general development for the area. The paper adopts the qualitative research method and employs both primary and secondary sources. Primary source will be used to obtain data through the use of oral interviews, while secondary source relies on existing literature on the topic from books, journals, magazines and the internet. The historical method was used to trace the history of these conflicts between farmers and herdsmen in Benue State. Descriptive methods were employed to describe the factors responsible for the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers and their effects in Benue State, while the analytic method is used to emphasize the complementary role of the Church in addressing insecurity. The study concluded that there is the need to identify the causes, repercussions and proffered resolution of the critical issues that are at the roots of these conflicts.
