Locals who escaped from the scene of carnage told newsmen that that trouble began when herds of cattle overran a water pond, the only source of drinking water for the community, and attacked a woman fetching water there.
The woman, according to the survivor who received machet cuts for daring to complain about the roaming animals, rushed back to her community in her pool of blood.
The community members quickly mobilised to the pond whereupon trouble started between Fulani herdsmen and community members.
In the ensuing confrontation, about four herdmen were allegedly killed by members of the community; and in what appeared to be a swift reprisal attack, the herders launched a ferocious onslaught on Simba and Shure villages and other adjourning communities.

He promised to get full details of the attack from the DPO in the area.

The worst crime a family can do is marrying their scumbag son to an innocent girl in the hope he will miraculously change" Arab influencer writes

    An Arab influencer has raised a discussion about families marrying off their sons who are not responsible enough, to innocent girls.   He pointed out that it has become common and when the man's behaviour doesn't improve after marriage, the woman is blamed.   Abed Alii tweeted: "The worst crime a family can do is marrying their son, who they know is a scum bag, to an innocent girl in the hope he will miraculously change...   "My sympathies are always with the womenfolk. They leave their family and come to an absolutely new one, without any support and then get abused. I’ve heard that so many times. 'maybe she’ll change him. She will make him change his bad habits. She’s a good girl.' It’s not her job to educate your son at the risk of damaging her mental Health!  And vice versa... let’s keep it real."   He added that it goes both ways and he has seen it happen to someone he knows.   Read his tweets below.
