No fewer than 15 communities in Orumba-South Local Government of Anambra State on Tuesday raised the alarm over the menace of herdsmen in their area.

They alleged that herdsmen were raping their wives and children.



The spokesperson for the communities, Mr Chukwudi Ugochukwu, stated this at Orumba-South Local Government Council secretariat in Umunze during a stakeholders’ meeting of the people of the area.

He added that the herdsmen allowed their cows to graze on farms, thereby destroying people’s livelihoods.

Ugochukwu said some women and girls had been raped on their way to their farms.

He said no fewer than 20 of such cases had being recorded, adding that he would not go beyond for fear of stigmatising the victims.

He said, “We live along the boundary with Imo State by Arondizuogu. All the farmlands there have been devastated by the herdsmen. Some of our women have been raped on the farmlands but they refused to talk so that they will not be stigmatised. The entire Umunze is under threat.”

Cjrane2:
Why can't communities organize themselves as vigilantes and protect their farms and girls?

Waiting for Police or army to help you under a Fulaniherds man president is living in a fool's paradise. he wouldn't even condemn the actions of his people talk-more ask police to stop it.

Sad news mehn. Don't they have vigilantes in those parts a la OPC? By the way, what are ipob youths (Anambra branch) doing about this?

They better do something fast about this instead of wasting time on NL 24-7 forming keyboard Shinobis.

See, let me just tell y'all now. Seun won't award any of y'all Akpu defender of the year.

I don talk my own. A word is enough for the wise

automatix:
I knew Benue people are cowards that's why they are killing them back2 back. You don't take their issues serious, your governor does not either so how can the people take it serious? You are here supporting one politician or the other until the killing come close to your siblings or relativie before you will understand better.

The igbos are not like you guys and you saw what happened in Abia state. They killed young boy and the community quickly pounce on the killer and took it on him. When the governor arrived, his message alone showed he has no time to cowardice.

My brother, no be small Keyboard Shinobos oo!

See what one who claims to be from Anambra was telling me on another thread earlier.. I couldn't stop laughing. .

Pray tell, how do you sympathise with someone who types such epic trash?

ColonelDrake:

Keep living in denial to save face while Fulani herdsmen continue to take turns on your mothers and women

Jetleeee:


Fulani herdsmen are raping women in Anambra. Even your aunt, Ochanya, is not safe. You're here ranting about Yoruba like a castrated bovine instead of thinking of how to rescue them.

I'm sure Yorubas are also the cause of your low sperm count.

I can bet my last Kobo you're an Ipob youth. Na una no dey get sense like this
