 ICC Note:

Fulani militants have been terrorizing Nigeria with their random and brutal attacks against farmers and other residents in rural communities. Unfortunately, many of the attacks are carried out to target Christian farmers. The Nigerian government has failed to recognize the persecution Christians face by Fulani militants and has also left Christians unprotected.

2/26/2018 Nigeria (Nigerian Tribune) –   Over the past few years, tens of thousands of victims had lost their lives in clashes between farmers and herdsmen across the country especially in the Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa and Taraba states axis including Zamfara State. Till date the number of victims has not reduced.

However, between September last year and January 2018 alone, almost 300 people had lost their lives.

For example, in Taraba State more than 100 people had been killed by herdsmen in the last three months.
