Look at the list, you will see that it consists of muslims and Christians alike... this evil in the land has absolutely nothing to do with religion. An evil person is an evil person irrespective of his religious beliefs..
May God have mercy on the dead

This Baye77 of a guy, sound senseless most times, you can hear him loud and clear been biased/sentimental islamatic idiot.  Islam gives birth to demonic children, especially the fanatic ones, don't defend shit niggy, we all know if its not boko haram its herdsmen, kidnappers or ritualist but in this case only people claming for land grabs for their cows and using this opportunity of their brother in power is fulani herdsmen sponsored but useless mayeti allah's back up... who born them? Islam.
