From Obinna Odogwu, Ekwulobia


There is palpable tension in Alor and
Oraukwu communities in Idemili North Local
Government Area of Anambra State as about
15 Fulani herdsmen armed with AK47 rifles,
machetes and daggers stormed Agbo village
yesterday. The residents of Agbo,
Okebunoye and Umunambu villages in Alor
community; and its neighbouring Ohokwu
village, have deserted their homes for fear of
being attacked at night by the armed
herdsmen who reportedly stormed Alor by
4:30pm.
This is coming barely 12 days after about 50
poisonous bows and arrows were
intercepted from two suspected Fulani
herdsmen at Ubana farmland in Dim-Ubana
village.
When Daily Sun visited the area, several
residential buildings were locked while the
police, and other security agencies were
patrolling to ensure tight security. Some
residents said they have sought refuge in
neighbouring communities.
The traditional ruler of Alor, Igwe
MacAnthony Elibe Okonkwo, told Daily Sun
that the Fulani herdsmen stormed their
community in a Toyota bus and went into
the bush.
His words: “Yesterday, around 4:30pm,
information came from the residents of
Agbo village in Alor, the boundary between
Ohokwu village, Oraukwu and Alor that
heavily armed Fulani herdsmen, numbering
about 10 or so stormed our community.
According to the residents who were
working in their farms, the armed Fulani
arrived in a Toyota bus and started going
into the bush while the bus drove away.
They were armed with AK47 rifles, machetes
and daggers.
“As a result, the people of Agbo, Okebunoye
and Umunambu villages deserted their
homes for fear of being attacked at night by
the herdsmen. So, I immediately alerted the
DPO and the state Police Commissioner who
sent in a team of policemen. I also informed
other security agencies who arrived in
droves. ”
The state police command spokesman, Ali
Okechukwu, said he was yet to be briefed
on the development, promising to get
update our reporter. However, a DSS official
who preferred anonymity confirmed the
development.
