Suspected armed herdsmen who shot at their host community in Obokofia community in Ohaji/Egbema local government area, Imo State, have asked to be forgiven over the incident.


Vanguard was told yesterday in Owerri, that it was the outcome of the security council meeting held on Wednesday in Ohaji/Egbema, by the transition community chairman, Damian Ezeru, alongside leaders of Hausa community and herdsmen.
Just as Ezeru, said that he would report to the governor, Emeka Ihedioha , on the outcome of the meeting for his final decision.
Vanguard was told that those in the security council meeting included members of the Department of State Service, Imo state Hausa Community Chairman, Suleman Ibrahim Suleman, leader of the herdsmen, Yahaya Haruna.
Other stakeholders included the Town Union President of Obokofia community, Ben Mark Adizua, traditional rulers, as well as members of the clergy.
According to Ezeru, while speaking to his people after the security council meeting said: “I promised to communicate to the state government on what we have resolved, after hearing from both sides.
“We have assured our people of maximum security promised to handle the whole issue as a matter of urgency and to achieve peace in the area.
“I urge the people to remain calm for there will not be further violent between them and Herdsmen.
“I have listened carefully to the complaints and plights of our people and I promised to report to the appropriate body for final decision. I pleaded with them to remain calm and not to take laws into their hands.”
Also, Suleiman of the Hausa community was quoted to have said: “I want you people to forgive them and forget whatever the damages these herdsmen have caused this community.”
Speaking also, Haruna, leader of the herdsmen, simply was captured to have said: “We want you people to forgive us and we understand the plights of the farmers as a result of what is happening, you know in a family there must be a stubborn child who doesn’t listen to the words of the father or mother and some of them will not obey instructions. Please forgive.”
It should recalled that Vanguard has been Following This Incident
since the herdsmen in Obokofia Community Shot At Farmers in the area. However no live was lost in the said incident.
Since then tension has enveloped the area as farmers were said to have abandoned their farms for fear of being attacked.
The drama continued as the Special Adviser to Imo state governor, Emeka Ihedioha, on Security, told Vanguard that the governor, had ordered the heads of security agencies in the state to have an interface with the leadership of herdsmen in the state. However, nothing has been made public on the meeting.

Lies. So you'll welcome dem n dey will strike again

Mumu people, they have not learnt from history.

It's in their nature to beg, so shooting and begging don't mean they are remorseful,they are bidding their time to hit you again when you loose guard.

These guys kill with reckless abandon only to come around and plead forgiveness? Lol!

The Fulanis have become the Biblical Ishmael, all thanks to the failure and bigoted nature of Buhari. How these people think they can force themselves on communities best my imagination.

Forgive them and watch as the wipeout the community in the nearest future.

In Buharis Nigeria arms are now toys in the hands of his Ruga people.

No Muslim's style. As Christians, your case is being processed.

Igbos must be careful. Southern Kaduna and benue are good examples.

Before you contemplate on forgiving.... atleast disarm them.

The fear of the Igbo man is the beginning of wisdom.


In other news, Fulani herdsmen are crying and reporting to Buhari to come to their aid because the Igbo man has bluntly refused them to enter the southeast by foot.

Who shall the Igbo man cry to? Only God o!!

Other tribes are everywhere in the country doing business and assimilating. The only reason southerners are skeptical about the Fulani's is because of their violent nature....if you give them an inch, they'd take a mile. So is better to curb them immediately they raise their head, than trying to take care of them with kids gloves.

Taqqiya at work.

These Buhari violent boys still dey misbehave forgetting that their brother Okoroawusa is no more the governor of Imo state.

Forgive and forget damages to farms? Will they do the same if their cows are slaughtered or stolen? Ndi Imo better be alert and cut these demons off before they resrategise and deal more deadly blows.

Ok
But their godfather in Aso Rock says the killer herdsmen are foreigners

After shooting somebody

No be herdsmen......beg and kill people

For this matter, forgiveness is a sin
