    It started as a fight for grazing land. But now, it is feared that battle might be fuelling a new wave of religious violence in Nigeria which has seen priests shot dead outside their churches:https://bbc.in/2KPJzmm

        Don't mind the fellow who is ignorant. Did Plateau, Adamawa, Edo, Delta, Enugu and other states where herdsmen have killed citizens pass the anti grazing law in their respective state.

        Its a state sponsored ethno-religious cleansing by @MBuhari kinsmen, using the anti-open grazing law as a decoy to commit this monumental genocide. Its happening on daily basis, but the Nigerian govt is trying hard to hide it, by secretly burying victims in mass graves.
