hate agaist herders

10:15 Jun 7 2018 Benue, Nigeria

Description

Yesterday, the Fulani Defence Minister called for the abolition of the open grazing law. Today, his people have backed up his call by killing a great number of innocent people again. The synergy between them is very clear for all to see. The FG is behind the killings, either directly or indirectly. The people of Benue must make concerted effort to defend their people/heritage. Otherwise, by the time Buhari leaves office, there would be nothing left to salvage
