The Nigerian nation has constantly been in a fierce vortex and seemingly boiling cauldron attacks.

Thus, herdsmen attacks on various farming communities in Nigeria have threatened the corporate and health existence of the country, hence the gruesome killings, rape destruction of farm crops and burning of houses and other property etc. thereby leading to conflict.
