Fulani herdsmen attack: Nigeria already experiencing war – Omoni Oboli cries out

Popular Nollywood actress, Omoni Oboli, has reacted to the incessant killings by alleged Fulani Herdsmen across Nigeria.

She said it was high time the government did something about it, otherwise, the country would be torn apart.

The actress cum movie director said this on her Instagram account, @omonioboli after the news of the latest Benue killings made the rounds.

Recall that a group of suspected armed herdsmen on Sunday killed six persons in Nenzev ward of Logo Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue state which increased the number of deaths from herdsmen attack to 81 in the last two weeks.

Ms. Oboli wrote: “Another Fulani Herdsmen attack leaves at least 81 dead.

“Fellow Nigerians, we are at war, we just don’t know it yet.

“This is war! You think because they haven’t come to your neighborhood you can pretend like nothing is happening?

“Trust me, if this goes unchecked for much longer, they will eventually get everywhere. Our brothers and sisters are being killed needlessly and senselessly!

“I shudder to think that we are becoming immune to these killings. In the beginning, I used to cry my eyes out. Now, I’m numb! Numb but LIVID! Why is it that no one seems to care? #Fulaniherdsmen #Rip to the victims #Godsaveus”

“Is the government going to wait till this Fulani Herdsmen business becomes a full grown war before doing something about it?

“So we are just going to pretend like these Fulani Herdsmen attack are not going on? Why have we become hostile to ourselves?” the mother of four queried.
