All I know is God will surely punish any fool that comes to nairaland to support this useless & senseless government. You won't see those old zombies comments on this thread, they will feign blindness. Bunch of scammers.

If its saraki or any of those their useless corruption threads their posts will litter everywhere.

So disappointed.

its unfortunate that buhari gve both moral & financial support to these vampires. Nigerian Police & Military are in support of those terrorists, SS/SE must unite & tackle this menace once and for all. The only way out of this madness is FIRE FOR FIRE.

Shame on the IG,CP, DCP, ACP, Governor and the entire NPF.

To those chastising Abuja, if your own people who are part of the police force won't respond to protect you, how would Abuja protect you?

This is the same reason we have all this heartbreaking problems.
Look at this guy omitting the President and commander in chief from the blame of incompetence. The same president that is very quick at slaughtering unarmed protesters.

ipob has always maintained their stance as a non violent organization. their protests and marches has been without arms.

on the other hand you should ask why 82 men who planned to fish out the herdsmen from the bush were arrested by soldiers and taken to umuahia police station.

or why the false alarm of mass graves in abia.

that area is a soft spot for them cos the more they go inland the harder it is for them to escape as it happened to them in anambra.

furthermore these people appear to have state protection. they attack and nothing is done. but as soon as you plan yours soldiers come and arrest you.

and don't call on IPC they killed one of them in falaes farm and nothing has been done till now.
is that how you people will fold your hands and get your people killed? See in ghana the fulani did this there trust the ghana people thought them lesson since everything settle.

Have we forgotten that Buhari is also a cattle rearer? In the true sense of it, if Fulani herdsmen are killing people and destroying property, do we need to be reminded that the hand writing on the wall is that, Buhari is also involved? Reason he has not said anything concerning the killings. This killing by abokis has migrated from boko haram to another stage of boko haram...only the name changed.

I wonder what a woman we have as a governor, a weak ling that cares for his stomach alone, fatning himself like a prize bull. When the buharis herdsmen attacked Awgu community, the weak ling was so silent on d issue that it took weeks for him to act, now it's uzo uwani and all we heard was how he went there to cry and has declared fasting...like seriously? I always know this man can only raise his hand to put food in his mouth and thats all. Oga gov. We don't need your tears, or do we need fasting, we need reasonable action from you, are you not supposed to be the chief security officer of the state? and you are crying and calling for fasting, what a shame

News update- Uzowuani Massacre: Another Executive Rascality Or Poly By Muhammadu Buhari To Wipe Off the Igbo Race?

Folks, we ask questions, and we demand for answers.

There was a call made by Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to the president, he was put on hold for over an hour 15 minutes.

This call was made in the presence of 13 men and 4 women, the president aid told the Governor that the president will get back to him. The president through his aid after 4 hrs told Enugu state governor that the president will do something about it.

My relative was among the people who witness this call. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on hearing that the police have not arrived at Uzouwani called GOC 82 division for help. He was refereed to the presidency again.

This time around, he was put on hold for nearly 2 hrs again, while waiting to speak to the president. News came in that the attack he was planning to prevent has actually taken place.

Within an hour, the commissioner and GOC who refereed the Governor to the president has mobilised their men to stop retaliation. The same way Lagos and Agatu was attacked and retaliation prevented.

We need to know why police commissioner and GOC need presidency order before they can protect the innocent citizens?

We need to know - why police and military sent their men to Uzouwani after the attack to prevent retaliation?

We need to know why a sitting Governor cannot use the support of police and military to protect his people?

Shut up and read the story again (even the residents are blaming the police for not protecting them 'cause they knew they were coming)

Why is there a police force (made up of locals with families in the same community) and other military and para military?

Why does the governor collect millions every month for security votes only to share it amongst themselves -- the blood of the dead will judge him and his crocodile tears.

'1 million gang' (a gang of armed robbers), keeps terrorizing a particular part of Lagos, killing, raping, robbing, forcing family members to sleep with each other; Lagosians direct their frustration to their principals-in-charge: the governor and the CP -- not that alone, they formed an armed militia/vigilante waiting for them all night . . . even taking the fight to them . . . hunting members of the group down.

You lot should learn looking at yourselves first before passing the buck.

I can't say it enough.

If you are not willing to defend yourselves, be ready to die.

Making unnecessary noise and excuses in the media will not solve the problem.

Do you think if a SE group attacks a village in the north that any SE person will be left alive in the North?

Ajogu noted that due to the location of the
village on the border between Enugu and Kogi
states, residents of Ukpani Nimbo community
were always under attacks from herdsmen, whom
he stated sought to turn the villagers’ farmlands
into grazing fields for their cattle.
Urging the federal and state governments to
come to the assistance of the community, the
spokesman said security should be beefed up in
the village to forestall future attacks.

security men cannot forestall future attacks. You are the one that will forestall it.

From time to time, hit them hard before they hit you. Remember that attack is the best form of defense.

My major problem is not with the terrorist group called herdsmen, but on the useless governor who happens to be the chief security officer of state coming to tell the bereaved that "his hands were tied and actually went ahead to recommend fasting n prayer".
He is unfit to be a governor!

What do you guys expect the Governor to do?

Is he in charge of Police or Army? Commandant of Enugu Civil defence can spit on the Govs face and nothing will happen.

The day Gburugburu decides to arm the youths with ordinary Pump action will be the day he'll be accused of sponsoring IPOB by the FG.

undecided I think we the southerners need to unite and sponsor an apology to the fulani's on the frontpage of 3 newspapers so this killings can stop. Nnamdi Kanu caused these senseless killings by abusing the hausa fulanis on Radio Biafra and calling for their deaths. We should also support the grazing bill so these guys can graze their cattle in peace. The Fulani's are good and peaceful guys until Nnamdi kanu provoked them. We yoruba's are ready to grant them our lands for grazing. The igbos need to do the same for the sake of peace sad

It is so amazing how a Governor in Nigeria has no powers to order the commissioner of police in his state to do the needful except the IGP yet the governor is called the chief security officer of his state??

A mayor that is more like a local government chairman here in the State of Maryland can fire and appoint a CP while a whole governor of a state in Nigeria cannot even summon the C.P in the state he governs talkless of mandating him to provide security in times of crises? cry cry cry cry cry

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake fired Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts Wednesday, saying his presence had become a distraction in a city that needs to focus on ending a dramatic spike in homicides.

"Too many continue to die on our streets, including three just last night and one lost earlier today," Rawlings-Blake said. "Families are tired of feeling this pain, and so am I. ... We need a change."

Are you kidding me?
A security challenge that crosses States boundaries with a federal conspiracy ring to it is supposed to be solved by the governor?
The federal police who are supposed to protect people are under the control of the President who is either flying off to some foreign lands or keeping mute like a statue on relevant issues the few times he is around.
BTW, what are the governors supposed to do? They are not in control of any security agency as a matter of law for funding.
Even the US where state police is being practiced, a security challenge like this would have seen Obama vilified and bearing the bulk of the blame and him possibly losing political relevance.
I don't care how Lagos zombie crowd decide to respond to this crisis. They can choose to play politics for all i care.
I care about the lives of my people and your buhari is responsible for all the loss of lives and properties that happened in Enugu.

Would they have over ran the governor's house?

Are there men and women from that area in the the Police and other security forces?

This is a very, very, sad incident that should never have been allowed to happen at all cost, regardless of who's to blame, or not.

cooljude:

if you remember that not more than a month before this attack more than 73 youths were arrested because they where discussing how to secure and tame the excess of those herdsmen. I am from that local government and the conflict did not start today but they had never attacked us with this magnitude. I think those herdsmen are backed by powerful persons from this government. if you follow the trend carefully, they firstly used the military to round up a lot of youth then on the day of the attack, the so called military personnel left for who knows where. then the said military surfaced when reprisal started.
I think Nigeria as a country should enshrine in our constitution the right for individuals to have their own firearms in other to secure themselves. why would a Fulani man be allowed to carry assault riffles but I would be arrested if a small pen knife is found on me. For my Governor saying the people should pray and fast,I just want to say he his a big fat fool.
RIP to the dead. There are two parties to this crisis. We hear your own side of the story. But since the Fulani don't seem to have a mouthpiece we need sincere answers to some questions. What have you people been doing to the Fulani as to be certain they were coming to attack you? Why you and not another communities? Has any of you killed any of them before or have you rustled their cattle?
There must be a reason for 500 Fulani men to gather and attack just one community and not their neighbors. Their attack have mostly been reprisal. Just seeking the truth.
