“The world need 2 know this that 2day in Nigeria we live in a society where injustice 2 humanity have become d right of some people above some, Which is unacceptable. This evil happened on sunday 13/11/16 in a broad day light by the fulani herdsmen killing more than fourty (40) innocent and peaceful people at kigam village and environs of chawai chiefdom, Kauru LGA of kaduna state, Nigeria.
Over 30 houses were also burned down by them. Our people are known 4 there peaceful way of life and accommodation not until when the fulani herdsmen came in the name of grazing in our land which they were accepted peacefully not knowing they are CANCER with an evil agenda supported by there unknown big brothers 2 invade, displace our people and take over our lands for NO reason. But, For whatever reason they may have 4 attacking n killing our people they will never succeed in taking over our God given land because he that is IN us is greater than whosoever that is with them.
Darkness can never win against light And one day market will end for the Bamboo’s. God’s grace. We call on Goverment 4 quick justice and 2 provide the needed security, road network, GSM service and other social facilities that are lacking in the area. May the soul of our departed brothers and sisters RIP”
