Six persons, including pregnant women, have been killed in an attack by suspected herdsmen in Mgbuji and Ebo autonomous communities in the Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Many residents in the communities were also said to have been missing while houses and motorcycles were burnt during the attack on seven farm settlements.

It was learnt that trouble started when some youths chased some herders out of their farms for allegedly allowing their cows to destroy hectares of cassava plantation.

In the ensuing struggle between the youth and the herders, some cows were said to have been killed, causing the herdsmen to launch a reprisal.

Some community leaders, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity on Friday, said the herdsmen invaded the settlements at about 3pm on Thursday with AK-47 rifles and shot indiscriminately.

“After soldiers left the community for about four days, the Fulani herdsmen launched the attack on Thursday. When we heard rumours that they were preparing to invade our communities, we promptly alerted the police and the military.

“What we don’t know is why all the soldiers deployed to the settlements were withdrawn. I must tell you that except one soldier from the South-South, all the soldiers deployed to the community were northern Muslims. On one of the occasions, they even opened fire on our local vigilantes who were patrolling the settlements to repel attacks by the invaders.

“So, the herders came in full force and killed many people and burnt houses and properties. More than 20 motorcycles and houses were razed, and they have promised to come back. We have reported the incident to the appropriate authorities to intervene. There is high tension here. As we speak, we have recovered bodies of six people that were killed and so many are missing,” the source added.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Information, Mr Steve Oruruo, who confirmed the incident on the phone, said, “The attack is true and the government has deployed security (agents) to the affected communities.”

However, efforts to get the reaction of the state police command were unsuccessful as its spokesman, Daniel Ndukwe, did not respond to text messages sent to him.

Nigeria is obviously a Boko Haram jihadist country. No part of Igboland will be allowed to be ruled by Nigeria in the nearest future. Buhari and his terrorist brothers have all the time in the world to murder as many as they want now.

Yet again another mass slaughter of Ndigbo IN THEIR OWN LAND! Latter some diseased sons and daughters of lucifer will want to call Mazi Kanu and ESN the aggressors! Mazi Kanu knew a day like this would come, and this was why ESN was formed…..more so, in light of the kind of useless governors we have!

Hell would first freeze over before the desert-dwelling scum that did this are caught!

Afonja i hail una for dirtiness

where is ESN and ipob terrorist

My people being killed and their property being destroyed yet no one says anything about it, but if they gang up to retaliate that's when they see them as IPOP terrorist and criminals, anyway time will come when they can't be caged anymore.

Umahi and Enugu shouldn't be in thesame sentence please.


Between, if security operatives can't protect them, they should be allowed to protect themselves

Igbos rather not herdsmen.

All killings are done by Igbos

The politicians in Igbo land need to be taken out.

Where is the fraud ESN? They only have power to intimidate fellow Igbo's.

Those contributing to IPOB and ESN should know that these people are part of the Enemies of Igboland.

Killed DR chike akunyili, oforma, Prof onyemeluke. But have never been present during any attack.

Some of the attacks are even carried out by the same ESN, to get Igbo's to donate more.

Too bad, when the anger starts boiling now, every slowpoke will come to nairaland to shout Igbo this, Igbo that.

Who did we offend?

These fulani people sef ur livestock destroyed someone's farmland and when they complain u killed them..who do us this thing..as usual PMB will keep a deaf ear...

State police would end all these...

Vote for Peter Obi!

Watch as the clueless governor start to form crying to cover up for his ineptituteness.

Even the only tool he uses to manipulate some people, which is Enugu is peaceful has now be proven to be a scam.

Enugu State in the hands of bloggers and photographers.

See this fool asking for the same ESN he and his accomplices are setting up…committing all manner of unspeakable evil, taking pics/videos and tagging them ‘ESN/IPOB’!

A spawn of lucifer like you claims ESN is ‘evil’ and ‘criminal’ so what are we left with?….We’re left with your own option: the wicked and compromised Nigerian army/DSS and goofy ebubeagu! So just why TF are you calling for ESN when you’ve conspired to tag them a criminal outfit and done what you can to try and disrupt their activities!?

Dr Akunyili and other prominent Igbo WERE MURDERED BY YOU LOT, so quit the sanctimonious pretence!

Muslims invaded Enugu, killed 6 Christians- including a pregnant woman.

Doubt whether this vulture is indeed an Igboman. You are busy daily campaigning against them and hailing the security forces for invading their camps to kill and stop them and you still ask where they are. You should rather ask where your Ebubeagu are. ESN is evil, ebubeagu should do their job
