“maybe he thought the boy came to steal from them, he did not ask why he was there, before attacking him”

“The matter came to us this morning and we can’t just sit down and watch them attack us every time, we want to tell them we are not fools,” he said.

A Fulani herdsman, blamed the Hausas for the fight adding that they are peace-loving people.
