Barely two months after they invaded and sent many to untimely death, suspected Fulani herdsmen allegedly killed 13 Christian in Southern Kaduna.
They were killed on the eve of Easter in Asso community in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The latest attack on Asso is believed to be part of the larger Southern Kaduna violence that has pitched Fulani herdsmen against largely local farming communities leading to the death of over 200 people in the past year.
