Nigerians have reacted angrily to the continuous deadly attacks by Fulani herdsmen across the country. Many of whom directed their anger at the government have renewed fears about insecurity in the country.
Nigerians were reacting on Saturday morning to the news that the convoy of former senate president, David Mark, was attacked in Agatu, Benue state.
His convoy was shot at by Fulani herdsmen who only recently killed over 50 residents of Agatu Local Government Area.
Taking to Twitter they expressed their displeasure at the inaction of the federal government.
Fulani Herdsmen = Agents of Terror.
It is unfortunate that the leaders lack any form of political will to stop their deadly activities.— 'jibolayemi (@Chexfactor) March 12, 2016
Boko Haram is being tackled. Fulani herdsmen are on the loose.

Fulani herdsmen actually opened fire at David Marks heavily armed convoy when he went to visit #Agatu…as if to say "we are untouchables".

Something has to be done about the menace that is known as "Fulani Herdsmen". Where are @cnni, @BBCWorld and @AljazeeraDoc when u need them?

That's what angers me, is that the Fulani herdsmen have slaughtered many and none have been arrested

Fulani herdsmen have burnt clans in Southern Kaduna. From the charred remains, you could see mothers hugging their children till death
