        So even BBC is in on the conspiracy, these killings were not from any clashes but unprovoked and premeditated. Get your facts right.

        The farmers & the herdsmen clashed. Which Clash? The Presidency is quick to call the MASSOB, IPOB a Terrorist group but the fulani herdsmen that killed over 70 ppl overnight, sleeping peacefully in their homes are not terrorists. God Help Us!

        It may interest BBC that Buhari and his party APC does not consider Fulani herdsmen to be terrorist even though they are on the global terror list. So... it was a terror attack on people of Benue(Nigerians)

        Please correct this information. It was never anything farmer/herdsmen clash. It’s ethnic cleansing. It’s genocide please. The British Government supported this evil genius to power to annihilate our people. That is why you people are giving it this name. This is unacceptable.pic.twitter.com/CPfpnyQuBI

        The Fulani menace is not affecting Nigeria alone. Ghana is experiencing its own too.

        Al Jazeera is also complicit. I listened to their report on the situation. They also called it a clash. They said the Fulani Herdsmen attacked becus land that was allocated to them was taken over by farmers. Don't forget Al Jazeera is a Muslim network.

        It seems like they will support Muslims regardless of the crimes they commit.
