        #JosKillings #Nigeria Cold-blooded #Jos #massacre - predictable, avoidable, albeit unabated orchestrated #genocide; kindly report accurately - if it was due to clashes, where are the #herdsmen casualties? #FailedState situation here; #global #intervention needed urgently!

        BBC is certainly becoming an accomplice in the genocide going on in Nigeria. I am a Journalist and disgusted by your poor reporting and lack of understanding of the killings. There is no clash but outright genocide.

        So, one person kills another in his sleep, u report it as a clash? U report genocide as mere clash? Shame on u! Is it not better u don't report it at all than play down on what it is? Ethno-religious cleansing is what it is. The Nigerian government must be held to account!

        Shame on you for changing the narrative. BBC used to be a trusted news outlet but no more. You have joined the likes of CNN who spew lies and false propaganda. This is no clash! An ongoing genocide is taking place in the middle belt.

        BBC, you are supposed to be a reputable media organisation. Narrations as this are not only insensitive but highly upsetting. There was no clash. It was a pure case of maiming and senseless killings.

        Your report is biased. It should be called what it is-an attack by herdsmen.
