Evil false reporting by wicked sponsors of violence.
It's not communal clash, but Fulani herdsmen attack on native farmers, children, and women.

When will the Fulanis stop walking into peoples territory armed? Crops don't go looking for "animals" it is the other way round.

More bodies dropping

so many blood shedding this year, i lost a tribe man to this heartless Fulani herdsmen yesterday, there were thinking he was a tiv man not know he was just an harmless urhobo man looking for his daily meal.
