Nigerians Cry Out Over Benue Massacre

Nigerians Cry Out Over Benue Massacre

Reports going round now is that the Fulani Herdsmen have allegedly attacked again and this time have killed more people than they ever had.

81 people have reportedly been killed in the massacre, which takes the number beyond that which Boko Haram has killed in 2016. 

What is going on? That is the reason many have called it a massacre.

The 'killing' activities of the Fulani Herdsmen in Benue communities has gone beyond 'silent solutions' as Buhari puts it, and the FG government needs to start protecting the lives of people they swore to protect.

See reactions in relation to the Benue massacre:

Ipob protests and they are being killed, fulani herdsmen murder people and they are still planning to impose the grazing bill #BenueMassacre

With the 80 killed in #BenueMassacre, it brings Fulani herdsmen related deaths to 1691 in 2016 alone. More than Boko Haram & Al Shabaab
