Fulani herdsmen sack Imo
community
Women and youths numbering over 1000
yesterday protested the incessant rape of
women and destruction of economic crops
by Fulani herdsmen who have overrun
most of the agrarian communities in Imo
State.
One of the victims, a middle-aged woman
(name withheld), from Ihe Umuapu
autonomous community in Ohaji Egbema
Council Area of the state, said the herdsmen
who swooped on her in the farm while
harvesting cassava raped her to a coma.
The victim who escaped death by the
whiskers after the herdsmen took turns to
rape her, called on security agencies to
come to the aid of the community to
forestall further attacks, adding that several
women who were abused by the assailants
did not have the courage to make it public.
A violent clash with the herdsmen in 2010
resulted in the death of three members of
the community.
Meanwhile, the committee set up by the
council area to tackle the menace of Fulani
herdsmen has called on the Imo House of
Assembly to assist them in their fight
against the invasion and threat of the
herdsmen, noting that their means of
livelihood had been totally destroyed. The
leader of the group, Mr. Christian Anihe said,
"our crops have all been destroyed by the
herds of cattle."
Anihe lamented the growing incidences of
rape, assault and murder of the women of
the community by the Fulani herdsmen,
saying the women no longer went to their
farms for fear of being attacked.
The traditional leader of the community, Mr.
Sabastine Eze called for intervention of the
state government to ameliorate the
sufferings of the people like it did for flood
victims.
Member representing Ohaji Egbema State
Constituency, Mr. Luke Chukwu also
lamented the devastation of their farmlands
by the cattle. He condemned the continued
attacks on the people by the herdsmen.
He said a swift and precise approach would
be followed to provide a lasting solution to
the problem in the area while commending
the people for maintaining peace.

I've long proffered a solution to this problem because it will persist unless we solve it amicably. The Fulanis should be given grazing limits or completely prohibited from this ancient system of raising animals. Nomadic life was not a part of the lower Niger/Benue culture.

Fulaniiiiiiiii poweraaaaaaa ....let those fools from IMO continue to complain instead of doing the right thing. The youths in that community are useless. Kill all the cows, and bury every fulani man insight alive and no fulani man will enter that community again.

a third option will be to break their monopoly on animal herding.

This is more than 3times Imo women will protest Fulani rape and murder of some Imo citizen. I am yet to know if the community is for women alone. Its a known fact that FG/State govt cannot save any group from Fulani's destruction.So,i think,its high time the Egbema men come out and question the Fulanis in the manner necessary not excluding killing.
