Nigerians have criticised President Buhari over his silence on the Fulani herdsmen issues, with some top politicians accusing him of supporting the group.

Three people have reportedly been killed after suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked Kikon Village in Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

This coming after a similar attack by the group on Mbang and Baga villages in Numan Local Government Area.

According to Channels TV, the herdsmen came to the village on motorbikes and torched houses and farmlands in the villages.

Reports also say that they made away with cattle belonging to the farmers.
