8 killed as Fulani herdsmen, villagers clash in Enugu community

No fewer than eight persons were feared dead Sunday following a clash between Fulani herdsmen and membes of Igga Community.

The incident happened at Adani in Uzo- Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State.



Trouble reportedly started when some Fulani herdsmen shot a member of the community in his farm and blocked sympathisers from taking the victim to hospital.

Sources said that the refusal to disallow the wounded farmer from being rushed to hospital triggered reactions which attracted some members of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, to the spot, leading to a showdown between both the herdsmen and members of the ESN.


Another source further said that it was amid the attempt to resuscitate the young man with bullet wound, an unknown number of angry youths on motorcycles stormed the scene and started shooting at those barricading the factory worker from receiving medical attention, resulting in the death of many people.

The sources said that a mosque was razed by an irate mob which gathered leading to many residents of Adani, an agricultural community, fleeing the area to neighbouring communities in Nsukka and Igboetiti Local Government Areas.


Some residents of Adani, who spoke on condition of anonymity, claimed that hunters and even some local vigilantes had encountered some unfamiliar faces suspected to be personnel of Eastern Security Network, ESN, in the forests around the council area who told them that they were not after any law-abiding residents in the area.

Meanwhile, the state Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Ndatsu Aliyu, and other top security operatives in the state visited Adani for fact-finding at the scene of the incident on Monday.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Daniel Ndukwe, who accompanied the Commissioner on the mission, confirmed the incident but promised to provide more details later.

Sometime I do wonder what this Fulani folks stands to gain by fighting their host, it appear they're unaware that the privilege been enjoyed by them is as a results of been within the same country with them and since one of their brother is at the helm of the affair

if not, I don't think they are that tough, and this food they are cooking for everybody now, if the table turns and everyone start cooking the same food for them in the bush, city, rural and urban area, I hope they would understand and will not be playing victim

FTC anyway.

Eyah

We are truly at war.

Nigeria is ready to implode itself.

Fake news

Don't Bleep

ESN GAT THEIR BACK



SIMPLYLEO HAVE YOU SEEN THIS THREAD

What was the score?

Fulani! The curse of West Africa..

One thing I like about igbos is their quickness to settle score. Good for them

Just imagine this bullshit


If ESN hadn't come to rescue those people nobody would have rescued them, because Police or the Army would be no where to be found around there and the Fulanis would have had the audacity to further terrorize that community.

Now why are they against ESN?
I am just asking

Kudos ESN
the Fulani menace is not going away anytime soon. people should not lose guard

Another good one from ESN.



Those cretins from west looking for ESN, here they are.

hope they killed all those Fulani bastards

Thank you ESN.

Unlike some folk with a castrated leopard for security. Lol

This news get K leg

So the Fulani herdsmen have gun eeh?

ESN to the rescue ...

The boldness some of these "herdsmen" exhibit is mind boggling. How can you come into a community, kill and rape the indigenes and not expect a resistance?

rubbish report.

God heals our land.

The only thing u guys know is to play tribal politics and always unstable.

Woe betide u and whoever taught u those jargons u had in the name of education........

Bastard.......

Thats a typographical error, if not I would have made the same mistake in my second post.

Educated man that is being controlled by illiterate tribe.

Mumu from a tribe full of cowards.

Ok

I always read without commenting in this forum.... My observation here is that Yoruba people are the most tribalistic and hateful people in Nigeria.... The only luck Nigerians have is that they don't have physical strength, if not they will be worse than so called herdsmen.
