Suspected Fulani Herdsmen Kill 51 In Northern Kaduna

According to the information acquired, a group identified as former cattle rustlers has murdered at least 51 adults and children in a village in northern Nigeria, burning down houses.
Amongst the rows of dead bodies in Gwaska, at the Birnin Gwari area of Kaduna state, were children under the age of 10. Some bodies have been mutilated.

They placed houses alight and fired shots, causing people to flee in fear - many directly towards the gunmen.
Residents have demanded that President Muhammadu Buhari's government desperately deploy more police and military to shield vulnerable villages around the state border with Zamfara.

Last month 14 miners were allegedly killed in an attack by gunmen from the Birnin Gwari area.
Gwaska residents state Saturday's attackers used to be cows thieves but had turned into banditry in the region's remote villages.
The victims include members of a self-defence force, shaped following attacks by well-armed cattle thieves.
