See reactions from Nigerians on the latest killing in Plateau state by suspected herdsmen. The attacks left close to 100 people dead on Saturday night.
Fellow Citizens,
Have you seen some of the pictures &video clips coming out of Jos, Plateau State?
Have you seen our fellow citizens being massacred?
Have WE LOST OUR OUTRAGE AT EVIL?
Has EVIL BECOME OUR NORM?
God FORBIDS.
Our President @MBuhari MUST ACCOUNT FOR THE DEAD.

Is the Plateau situation under control? It is very distressing to read some of the news coming out of the State.
I hope the .@PoliceNG is on top of the situation and that the C-I-C is briefed and directing.
We really MUST END this WASTING of the LIVES OF OUR CITIZENS.— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) June 24, 2018

Anyone in Plateau, Benue or Taraba who votes for President Buhari in 2019 should not cry crocodile tears when herdsmen continue to steal, kill and destroy the lives of Nigerians in those states. By your vote, you are saying you endorse the killings of your brothers and sisters.

Today again, suspected herdsmen killed over 200 Nigerians in Plateau State.
I am not aware of any Anti Grazing Law in Plateau State. So can the FG that claimed that anti grazing law made by some States caused the killings by herdsmen tell Nigerians what happened?— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) June 24, 2018
A LEADER WILL NOT allow KILLINGS of his PEOPLE WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES.
It is ABNORMALITY for a people to NOT VALUE the Lives of their fellow human beings.
THESE KILLINGS MUST STOP, .@NGRPresident @MBuhari !!!
Give JUSTICE to the nearly 200 DEAD in Plateau. DO IT NOW!!!

Buhari promises to fish out killers of Plateau Christians. Have perpetrators of previous killings been fished out? Wasn’t the case against the 5 be-headers of Bridget Agbahime dismissed while 5 Christians who killed a herdsman who attacked their village are sentenced to death?

On Saturday, scores of Nigerians were reportedly murdered by armed men believed to be herdsmen in Barkin Ladi, Plateau.
On Sunday afternoon, in Jos, rioters attacked other Nigerians they believed to be Muslim in Jos, in apparent reprisal attacks.

Mindless killings in our country, we cannot be in continuous mode of bloodletting & mourning. Government needs to be alive to its primary responsibility of protection of lives and property. My heart goes to the victims of Barkin Ladi LGA of Plateau Statehttps://t.co/x3f0UcHC2F

Fulani terrorists have slaughtered over 200 people in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State today. Again the victims are Christian indigenees of the state who have had their homes and Churches burnt and their lives cut short by these fiendish invaders. Buhari has said and done nothing!

The grievous loss of lives & property arising from the killings in Plateau today is painful and regrettable. My deepest condolences to the affected communities. We will not rest until all murderers and criminal elements and their sponsors are incapacitated and brought to justice.
