A young Fulani youth has defended the massacre of more than 200 people by herdsmen in Benue State, claiming that they were merely retaliating for the slaughter of their cow and their kinsmen in the state.

The young man claimed in a distressing video posted on social media that he would not think twice about killing 150 people for one of his cows and that they value their lives more than human life.

Speaking in Hausa, the herdsman made it clear in the eight minutes and forty-five-second film that their activities in Benue paled in comparison to their plans for other regions of Nigeria.

Additionally, he made several unsettling remarks that were occasionally explained by a narrator for the benefit of non-Hausa speakers.

He said: “So because we killed 200 people in Benue State, and so what? Is that why you people are crying and complaining? You are going to social media to complain.. what you saw is just small.“

“You people have been writing that you will chase Fulani out of Benue State, and you were laughing but now you are the ones crying.“

“How many of our cows were killed, how many of our people were killed in the bushes and in their Ruga settlements that you are crying over the killing of a mere 200 people? So what? You have not seen anything yet.“

“I can kill 150 for one of my cows killed. For me, it is an eye for an eye. If you offend me, I don’t wait, I take my vengeance immediately. I have stopped thinking twice…I don’t forgive or forget. You do me, I revenge as a Fulani of the forest.“

“Killing a human being who offends me or kills my cow is nothing to me. There is no killing that be difficult for me to carry out to avenge my cow or any wrong done to me“

“We have not even started and you people are crying already… you will soon see what we are going to do.“
