They killed imaginary herdsmen, just like Buhari's completed projects.

vorigan:
........Buhari Apologist say Benue people are killing themselves, yet the army has eliminated this large number of armed herdsmen!.......If you are a so called Buharist, please hide your face in a boko haram pit latrine!!

At first, buhari's govt said it is communal farmers herders clash. Then gravitated to state govs sponsoring militias. Then claimed herdsmen from Libya, all these in defence of terrorist fulani herdsmen and Miyeti Allah terrorist organization. Now they want Nigerians to believe that buhari's destructive regime slaughtered 36 armed herdsmen.
No one with a normal brain should believe this govt. They are pathological LIARS who will say anything on newspapers to deceive Nigerians especially the international community.
