AlThough before now, we have learnt that Fulani herdsmen are
attacking people in Their hosts community and at times take things
which does not belong to them but nothing of this such have we heard
before.
The host community who should be their friends and appreciated for
accommodating them are slaughtered with reckless abandon. Hardly does a
day pass without stories of the murderous activities of these nomads
taking human heads. They kill at the least provocation and it seems
killing is fun to them.This latest Fulani herdsmen heavy killing, coupled with Boko Haram, the Islamic insurgent group, have led to uncountable number of deaths of innocent Nigerians.
According to report reaching us this afternoon, nearly 300 lives have been lost as a result of this killing spree, which has made life in the affected areas, short, nasty and brutish. The latest in this ugly chapter of senseless killings was recorded, yesterday, with another report that gunmen believed to be Fulani herdsmen stormed a meeting in Northern Nigeria’s Zamfara State and killed 30 people.
Osundefender newsmen who spoke with Zamfara State police spokesman Lawal Abdullahi: “Thirty people were killed and several others injured. The incident happened in Galadima, yesterday, during a meeting of community leaders and representatives of vigilante groups who were discussing ways to thwart armed robbers and cattle rustlers’’. More than 60 people might have died in the attack, a survivor said.
