My southern holier than thou christain will not comment on this heinous act but if it were to be single passerby christain molested in the North you will hear rain of insult and condemnation of entire Hausa Fulani tribe and Islam in general. They will be attacking Buhari and herdsmen. Islamaphobia will definitely kill some people.
