ICC Note:

The Fulani Herdsmen and farmers in middle belt region of Nigeria have been able to co exist peaceful for years.   Christian farmers allowed cattle of  Muslim Fulani herdsmen to graze on their land. As of late, Fulani herdsmen have taken an extrimist and militant narrative, as they chose to destroy farms,  kill farmers and kidnap  women.  We join the Christian community of Adamawa and lift up the farmers in prayer. May God bring peace between Fulani Herdsmen and farmers.

11/14/2016 Nigeria (Premium Times) – Disturbed by series of attacks by suspected herdsmen in their villages, the people of Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State on Sunday organized a special church service to pray for divine intervention.

The state within three months recorded eight clashes between farmers and herdsmen during which scores were killed.

Speaking at the service held at the Lutheran Church of Christ in Demsa, the headquarters of the local government, Stephen Babbada said the attacks on farmers were alarming, hence the need for prayers for a lasting solution.

Mr. Babbada, a pastor, called for peaceful coexistence and the need to embrace dialogue.
