From Igbo to Yoruba to Isoko, almost every tribe in Nigeria has had a bone or two to pick with Fulani herdsmen.

Aside from the nuisance herdsmen and their cattle are believed to constitute in different parts of the country, so many people like Sunday igboho have accused them of killings and kidnapping.

While some are in support of Sunday igboho, others think other tribes are using Fulani herdsmen as a mask to carry out evil.

Over the years, we have witnessed the deaths of many Nigerians who were believed to have been killed by fulani herdsmen. Below are some Nigerians who were killed by gunmen suspected to be fulani herdsmen.

1. Juwon Awe

Unlike the three above-mentioned cases were no one was arrested, Mrs Funke Olakunrin killers were brought to book.

The killers were Lawal Mazaje, Adamu Adamu, Mohammed Shehu Usman and Auwal Abubakar.

Apart from the late Mrs. Funke Olakunrin, no one knows if the killers of Juwon Awe, Ademiju Adenipekun, and Dr. Amos Arijesuyo are truly fulani herdsmen or criminals from other tribes.

What's your take on this? Could Sunday Igboho be right or are other tribes doing the killings and using fulani herdsmen as a mask? Please drop a comment and share with others.
