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.
This lead to an uproar on Twitter, a situation in which the Governor of the state, Nasir El-Rufai chose to ignore.
Wife of Kaduna State Governor, Hadiza Isma El-Rufai not only ignored the issues, but she also washed her hands completely off the matter and feigned ignorance.
This attitude angered the generality of Nigerians.
Here is what she said: "Did any of you see “First Lady” in my bio?
My TL is for language, humour and other light-hearted issues. I don’t tweet about serious matters like governance and politics. Though I’m married to a governor I’m not a part of government. I swore no oath.
This is lame.. You are the first Lady of Kaduna state and you are enjoying the privilege of same office.. @elrufai is your husband who you see on daily Basis..Tell him #Dadiyata children are suffering from the absence of their Father. He is the Governor, he should find Dadiyata!

It didn't really go down well in the tweets and replies.
That response is very profound.

Whatever is happening in Southern Kaduna won't end there. When they're done in SK, where do you think they'll go next? Down South.

So lending our voice is not only a humane thing to do but also a matter of self-preservation.
When distribution of #KDSGPalliatives to thousands of beneficiaries is currently ongoing in KAJURU, some are here busy tell lies, trending about killings in same place.
