A Fulani Herdsmen attack that spanned seven communities situated in the Southern axis of Kaduna State and recorded several deaths occurred between May 19 to 24.
Five persons were reported dead from the attack. 78 persons sustained injuries while 51 people were missing from the unchecked attack, as gathered by MyNigeria.com.
607 houses were destroyed while 231 cows rustled in the process.
This lead to an uproar on Twitter, a situation in which the Governor of the state, Nasir El-Rufai chose to ignore.
The endless attacks in Southern Kaduna are condemnable. No land, or revenge or whatever it is, is a good enough justification for the continuous slaughter of innocent souls. This sort of barbaric attacks on villages and communities should have been a thing of the past.

Good afternoon,

There are people dying in southern Kaduna. They are Nigerians like you and I. Please lend your voices. Even if it's just a retweet. A modern day genocide is happening and nobody is talking.
I was born in Kaduna, my mother is from Southern Kaduna - Kachia Local Government. That place is my home, so I cannot be mute about the killings of my people, my fathers, my mothers, my brothers and my sisters. Southern Kaduna people are being attacked and killed but nobody seem https://t.co/aLXoWlsMIK

There is a genocide going on in Southern Kaduna but all the "El Rufai for President" chanters are quiet.

The "Pray for Katsina" gang are also quiet.
Most of the handles tweeting about Southern Kaduna killings are from SK and Southern Nigeria.

Most members of Arewa Twitter have lost their voices.
When it's time for ethno religious bigotry, they will regain their voices.

The government responsible for keeping its people safe failed to do so.
Speak up for those who do not have a voice!
Kadaria's selective indignation against the loss of black lives in America makes me wonder if Southern Kaduna is in South Carolina in America
