village and to the dislocation of more than 120,000 people. In Taraba State, Jukun and Tivs have fought frequently over access to arable land. The encroachment of Fulani cattle rearers on farmlands caused violent conflicts in the state. There are now more than 250,000 displaced persons in the state. 394. Internal displacements have also been caused by communal conflicts. This is the situation in Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State. Communal conflict caused by encroachment into farmlands and the infringement of grazing land has turned the area into a theatre of conflict, leading to about 17,000 people having to take refuge in Cameroon, from which they are currently being repatriated to Nigeria by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the federal government of Nigeria. 395. The Ife-Modakeke conflicts in Osun State arose over intergenerational indigene-settler rights. The mutual destruction of villages and local communities has led to the displacement of more than 200,000 people. In Delta State, Itsekiri-Urhobo-Ijaw conflicts are traditional. 396. The Umuleri-Aguleri communal conflict in Anambra State has generated over 80,000 IDPs. Kindred groups have taken arms against each other over land disputes. In Toto-Abaji in Nassarawa State, a whole community was dislocated by communal conflict over indigene-settler rights and communal land disputes. The majority indigenous population is fighting against the Egbira dominant minority. More than 50,000 people have been displaced as a result of the conflict. 397. Internal displacements arising from natural disasters abound in Nigeria. In Abia, Enugu and Anambra States, soil erosion has destroyed many communities and rendered about 200,000 homeless as IDPs. In the north, especially in Yobe, Jigawa and Gombe States, the IDPs have been displaced as a result of disasters that occur through: the improper and untimely discharge of dams, both from Cameroon and from the neighbouring dams; ill-informed construction of railway facilities; flooding of major rivers; excessive rainfall resulting in flooding; and desertification. ii. Findings of the CRM Protecting the rights of PWDs 398. The CSAR does not offer adequate information on the plight of PWDs, and even in the interactive sessions with stakeholders there was a dearth of information on this vulnerable group. Disability is a serious problem in Nigeria, as it affects approximately 10 per cent of the population according to the CSAR. Over the years, disabilities arising from inadequate immunisation services and injuries during conflict have been evidenced on an increasing level. 399. The rights of PWDs are inadequately protected and promoted at federal level and in several states, most of which lack the necessary policy and 133
