11/25/2021 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) – Yet again, militant Fulani herdsmen have attacked two farmers in Nigeria’s Plateau state, this time killing two men while they were attending to their farms.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Irigwe Development Association (IDA), Davidson Malison, confirmed the killings.

In the midst of these attacks, the Nigerian government continues to spin the narrative that they are doing the best they can, but that the conflict is beyond their control. In reality, in most cases, the government is either incompetent or aiding and abetting the attackers….
