He spoke under Order 43 of the Senate Standing
Orders to make a Personal Explanation over the
mayhem in Uzo- Uwani community, where he said
over 50 lives were reportedly lost, while over 2000
persons were displaced and homes amid property
worth millions of Naira were destroyed.

He called on the Senate to immediately conduct a
public hearing to enable all stakeholders to state their
feelings and experiences with a view to finding a
lasting solution to the issue.

He said, “Mr. President, remember I call your
attention to a resolution of this Senate on Thursday 03
March, 2016. Recall that on that day, one of the
issues we discussed was a motion titled ‘tackling the
perennial conflicts between farmers and cattle
herdsmen’.

“At the end of that debate, we took a number of
resolutions. I recall that in my contribution I
suggested that the Committee on Agriculture and
Rural Development as well as the Committee on
National Security and Intelligence do conduct a public
hearing on this matter with a view to articulating a
lasting solution to the problem.

“Up till now, that public hearing has not started. It is
important for Nigerians to know that we are doing
something about this perennial problem. It is not
enough for us to be doing something; we must be
seen to be doing something.

“I believe that it is time for the committees to come
together and commence action on these resolutions
namely, to start a public hearing on this problem
between the farmers and the cattle herdsmen. “I say
this because it is getting too late.

“Just yesterday, we heard that over 50 persons were
killed in Uzo- Uwani Local Government in Enugu State.
We heard about 2000 people were displaced and over
a hundred people were injured. Houses were burnt,
including churches.

“As I speak, some people who live in Enugu, ESPECIALLY
THE HAUSA AND FULANI are taking refuge in the Army
barracks and it is not good for our country. These are
people who didn’t know about those who went and
attacked the ordinary people of Uzo-Uwani
and today they are now refugees.

“It also implies that if any person dies in the process,
there could also be reprisals in other parts of Nigeria
and this can engulf the whole country.”

Ekweremadu tasked security agencies in the country,
especially those within Enugu State, to without any
further delay, fish out the perpetrators of the
dastardly act, with a view to making them face the
full wrath of the law.

While condoling with the families of the victims; the
DSP urged them not to lose their patience.

That is what Buharis 'silent working'/tacit support to Fulani terrorists brought upon the country.

Are we sure those terrorists are not hiding at army barracks too cos it won't be a surprise due to recent actions of DSS, Police and the Army.

TheFreeOne:

space ko

Useless people. We can leave without cow.

U see they are taking refuge in military barracks

Enemies army @ our backyard God have mercy......na them votes chain oooo

The same army that refused to foil the attacks of the fulani herdsmen are now protecting the fulani herdmen

Grand conspiracy

This is the height of grand conspiracy to decimate other tribes and create fear among other regions.So there was a call for a round table discussions to stop this ugly menace by Buhari herdsmen and some people sat on the progress of this call.
South south and south east should brace up for the worst and have to be proactive.Before they become refugees in their own land.
The Buhari herdsmen will cowardly come like a thief in the midnight to kill,destroy and render people homeless.They will hurriedly seek refuge and protections in a military Barack.
Then a governor of the state will come and offer 2 days dry fasting.tupiakwa and bleep peaceful coexistence
If president Buhari doesn't act to stop this unwarranted killing of innocent citizens.Then people should protected themselves with any available means.Enough is enough

Are there no southerners in the army for heaven's sake. How long shall we keep hearing this nonsense. Or are they all cowards?

Can the millions of Igbos in the North take refuge in the barracks? Warning to those trying to create ethnic crisis.

I hope obasanjo is happy now after blackmailing gej with an evil sniper story. The old military gagulus shd never ever be allowed to lead this nation again

I bet you some of the fulani invaders cold be amongst those taking refuge in the barracks.They are been kept there pending when they will be called for another attack.

It seems buhari practically handed the fulani militias keys to the national armoury, CBN and military protection. A Fulani commandant is in power and we would have to deal with it!

Abagworo:

Go and sit down tell your Fulani brothers to stop killing my people

They will come in the middle of the night to catch unsuspecting people in the night and kill them. Thereafter they will retreat to military barracks for protection.

Direct your warnings to Buhari cos he's the one creating ethnic crisis.

And the op had to twist the original title to incite ethnoreligious bigots like himself.

Our coconut, dullard n blocked head president is biting more than he can chew. If they were Baifrans nw he would unleash Army on them. We dey c ur handwork Buhari!

Abagworo:

Why are you like this nau, Igbos are a major ethnic group in Nigeria, no need to be scared. We are with you on this.

If it starts, we will ensure we drown northerners in the creeks and rivers of Rivers state.

They have spoilt things for the good ones.

Will you shut up. A community was sacked in the middle of the night while they slept for no reason whatsoever by the same people the army is out there protecting.

It shouldn't take much brain cells to tell you by day break, the youths of the town or even family members of the people they killed will want to revenge back ( after all that's Africa Nigga. An eye for an eye is all we understand).

The fulani from north that ran to Enugu to start shit because of f2kimg missing cows triggered this and the people that'll bear the wrath are sadly the innocent hausa/fulani that very likely didn't know wtf was going on.

In my opinion, the fulani are weak as f2k. They like the definition of the biggest bully. Last we checked, it was Abia people that attacked their cows, not Enugu. Abia has been kicking them when they start their Wahalla so instead they took their "revenge" to Enugu that's more peaceful. I hope Enugu people have learned their lesson. Being nice to Fulani is the biggest, dumbest, move you can make. Better start copying Abia and Anambra style. You see how una bear the blunt of Abia "dealing with them"...that says alot. A bully picks on the weak, not those that will fought them back. Enugu people Copy Abia. Copy them to the T when it comes to dealing with Fulani. I don warn una.

Everyday I doubt this man claim of Igbo. I'm starting to seriously believe you are a Northerner pretending to be Igbo on NL. Theta no way you are from any part of south. No way!!
