Nigeria attacks: 100 killed in attacks on villages in Kaduna

At least 100 villagers have been killed in what officials say were attacks linked to tensions between ethnic groups, in the central Kaduna state of Nigeria. Though it is not evident on who the attackers were many blame members of the mostly Muslim Fulani tribe, in recent years thousands of people in central Nigeria have been murdered due to semi-nomadic Fulani herdsmen attacking Christian farmers. Houses were destroyed, food looted, and many of the victims in the villages of Ugwar Sankwai, Ungwan Gata and Chenshyi,bodies were so badly burnt that they could not even be identified. The Fulani tribe has also committed violence against the Muslim Hausa ethnic group in recent years.
