Neutrality and soapboxing concerns[edit]

I understand the sorrow that farmer communities have felt following this and other massacres in the herder-farmer conflicts in Nigeria. However, this article appears to go beyond the facts to present a view that is notably biased against herders. Phrases like "scores massacred by over 500 armed Fulani herdsmen, rated the fourth deadliest terror group in the world^[1]", entire paragraphs of quotes by pro-farmer activists/Biafra independentists without contexts, and two full sections (Opposition to Grazing Reserve and Routes and Containing Renewed Attacks in 2021) unrelated to the massacre itself and discussing subsequent farmer-herder conflict issues (with loaded words such as "unacceptable" or "invaded and used by the violent herdsmen" used in wikivoice), lead me to believe an element of WP:Soapboxing is at play.

Half of the sources in this article appear to come from a single news source, www.vanguardngr.com, with some articles reading more like inflamatory op-eds than like reasonable secondary sources to be used (eg [1]), often brought up with WP:Weasel words such as "There is a growing perception" and "Many have wondered why".
