[muriel_volestrangler]

No fewer than 80 persons were feared killed in a renewed invasion of suspected armed Fulani herdsmen on Egba village in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State yester­day.

A villager, who escaped from the community, told newsmen that suspected Fu­lani, attacked the village at about 5am yesterday.

While the escaped villager said about 80 corpses had been found, the deputy gover­norship candidate of the Peo­ples Democratic Party (PDP), John Ngbede, who hails from the area, confirmed that 60 persons were killed, but add­ed that search was still ongo­ing to recover more corpses.
...
About nine local govern­ment areas of Benue State came under attack of Fulani herdsmen last year with hun­dreds of persons killed while thousands were displaced.

1. How do these nomadic tribes even know of the crusades?

And when did they embrace Islam?
