Buhari
Panic soaked Ukpabi Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area, Enugu State, following an alleged plot by Fulani herdsmen to invade the community and dislodge residents for cattle-grazing.
About 500 Fulani herdsmen had allegedly gathered at Ukpabi Nimbo community waiting to launch the attack. However, this was averted following the meeting of stakeholders, initiated by the Chairman, Transition Committee, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area, Cornell Onwubuya. He alerted Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the state Commissioner of Police, Ekechukwu on the development.
He also alerted the leaders of the Fulani community in Enugu State, who met with stakeholders from Uzo-Uwani to address the issue.
Attacks by herdsmen on communities in the local government had spiked recently. There has been kidnap of over 15 persons and raping of several women along the Nsukka-Adani-Umulokpa road. With those kidnapped reportedly paying ransoms between from N500,000 to N5 million before their freedom.
Editor’s Note: What is actually going on in our country? The military find it easy to kill unarmed Biafran protesters but look away and allow these Fulani herdsmen to terrorize law abiding citizens. What is going on??? When will President Buhari break his mischievous silence of this crisis???
