Suspected Herders Invade Enugu Communities, Kill Three Villagers by abouzaid: 6:11am On Apr 16, 2022
*Suspected herders invade Enugu communities, kill three villagers*

Residents of Imama Ugbawka in Nkanu East and Umuhu Eha-Amufu in the Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State have been thrown into mourning following the killing of three persons by suspected herdsmen in separate attacks.

City Round gathered that several others were wounded in the attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Our correspondent learnt that while the attack in Ugbawka occurred on Tuesday when the herders allegedly invaded a farmland and killed two labourers hired from Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, to cultivate crops on the farm, Eha-Amufu’s incident occurred on Wednesday at Agba-Esher.

A community leader in Umuhu, Eha-Amufu, who gave his name as Odo Francis, said the herders numbering about seven with AK-47 blocked Nkalagu-Eha-Amufu Road.

“Unfortunately, an Okada rider from Amade Eha-Amufu who was carrying two persons got to the point. They killed him and abducted the two men. Our people were alerted when a man from Umuhu Eha-Amufu identified as Okibe Odo, who escaped death by a whisker broke the news.

“Now, our forest guards and neighbourhood watch (members) are on their trail. The body of the victim, Ifeanyi Odoebe, has been deposited in the morgue.”

A community leader from Imama Ugbawka, Chima Nwodo, who confirmed the attack in his community, said the residents were alerted by one of the labourers who escaped from the herders when they invaded the farm.

The President-General of Imama Ugbawka Autonomous Community, Chief Osita Ogbu, described the attack on his community as callous and unprovoked.

“These herdsmen, according to one of the labourers that survived, were six in number. When he (the survivor) alerted our people, we sent our vigilantes to the farm who discovered the bodies of the victims and, subsequently, informed the police, Department of State Services, and the military. They came and saw the mutilated bodies. The victims’ throats were slit.

When our correspondent contacted the spokesperson for the police on the state, Daniel Ndukwe, on the telephone, he declined to comment.

But the Special Adviser to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on Information, who also oversees the Ministry of Information, Chief Steve Oruruo, confirmed the attack and called on security agencies to fish out the criminals.

See it? They have started coming back, this is the entire essence of the campaign of calumny you are seeing against ESN just to get rid of them to allow for Fulani terrorists to resume their atrocities. They are only seven in number now because they just want to test the water and see what will happen, if they get away with these small attacks then you should start expecting more massive attacks like it was before the arrival of ESN. Where is Ebube Agu? Or is it time for Ugwuanyi to start crying and calling for fasting and praying again? I really pity those Igbos that are being brainwashed to turn against ESN, it's like they have quickly forgotten how bad things were before ESN. I hope it won't get back to the stage where we will start hearing people being massacred in the east again like what we are seeing in Benue, plateau and southern kaduna before all our people get sense again by force. It was happening before, don't forget the massacre at ukpabi nimbo!! Today the people that claim to love us more than ourselves are telling you that ESN is our enemy and some of us are stupidly believing them, these are the same people that were laughing at us and cheering when our innocent, unarmed youth were being massacred by the Nigerian army, today they claim to love us more than IPOB, they are trying to sow seeds of division among Igbos and telling the Anambra man that Ebonyi and Imo people are his enemies and want to destroy his state and some foolish people among us are falling for it.

Constant attacks in Ebonyi and Enugu since last year by Fulani herdsmen. Why is the Nigerian army that use to attack and bomb ESN bases in those two states not been able to apprehend even a single Fulani herdsmen? ESN only offence is fighting off these herdsmen from those Igbo states bordering the northern states meanwhile these attacks would definitely get worse by the next dry season while Ohanaeze/Southeast governors are asleep to their responsibilities.

NB: how many hours after posting this and it's not yet on FrontPage but the Vanguard article on Simon Ekpa went straight to the FrontPage. Nigeria is hopelessly hopeless no matter from what angle you look at it.

Nonsense.. How many herdsmen have been killed by your ESN versus how many Igbos/security officers have been killed by ESN? Let's deal with facts and not sentiments. Show one report/ video of ESN killing Fulani herdsmen and I'll show you ten report/videos of ESN killing Igbos/security officers..

Both ESN and herdsmen are killing our people, but ESN has killed far more.. You guys keep deceiving yourselves to justify your senseless agitation. But it will not be too long before nemesis will catch up you

So the fulani herdsmen that were invading the east suddenly woke up and ran away after ESN was formed abi? All the many times Arewa forum and Miyetti Allah were crying about attacks on Fulani herdsmen in the east, they were just crying for no reason abi? You were waiting for ESN to come and be posting videos for you after every operation abi? Be there asking stupid questions, we saw the clear difference between before and after ESN was formed. Nobody could go to their farms in the east without fear of attack in the east, raping and killing of women in their farms was almost a daily occurrence, we even saw videos of herdsmen brazenly bringing their cattles into people's farmlands and even school premises until ESN put a stop to that nonsense, you have forgotten the times of old when Ugwuanyi will be crying and calling for fasting and prayers abi? As for your useless opinion about killing of security forces, who attacked each other first? Did IPOB/ESN suddenly start going after security forces or was it the security forces that first attacked them and they started fighting back? And you're talking like a fool for telling me that you will show me ten videos of killing of security forces by ESN, how many videos of killings of unarmed IPOB members by the security forces did you post? How many videos of the massacre in Afara Ukwu did you post? How many videos of the Obigbo massacre did you post? How many videos of the several atrocities of the security forces in the east did you post? Ewu hausa, you are just one of those brainwashed people I am talking about and that's if you are even Igbo at all because I seriously doubt you are Igbo or you wouldn't have so quickly forgotten the history of how we got to this stage.

Which herdsmen?

Put it right ' IPOB/ESN invades Enugu community"

That Eha-amufu community have been on news for quite some time and attackers are IPOB terrorists not any herdsmen.

The real fact was that the community allied with the military to expose their camps in the community and it became hot for them, those ESN terrorists was forced to relocate.

Now in retaliation they started attacking thr community under herdsmen smokescreen. The real culprit here are Igbos.

The ESN might have killed some people they believed were saboteurs which is wrong. However, the Fulani Herdsmen one attack in Igboland may lead to 20 deaths, and 2 attacks will take the number of deaths to 50. So, we had more than 50 attacks in Igboland by Fulani Herdsmen and we might have lost over 1000 people plus kidnapping and raping of our women.

The ESN not that I support killing of any person in the name of "Saboteur" and they might have caused less than 20 deaths in Igboland directly. Most killings in the East you linked to ESN - we know that you want to make Igbos move against them. Fulanis kill both children and pregnant women.

So, the advantages of having ESN outweighs it's disadvantages. If government was able to stop Fulani Herdsmen, we all would have been against formation of ESN. See, we all don't have short memories to forget the atrocities of Fulani Herdsmen.

Do you think Benue, Kaduna South, Plateau people will move against any security groups their youths will form to fight Fulani Herdsmen? No matter how hard you try to paint such security groups black - they will not move against them. They will ask you where were your government and security all these while they were crying for help.

Foolish people like yoast, Kingsley1000, frigga13 and the rest of you, can you see the people that are telling you that ESN are your enemies? Can you see them? The only reason why they want ESN out is so that they can come and start gloating and celebrating over the killings of Igbos again by fulanis as they used to do before before ESN came. If you think these people are condemning ESN because they care about Igbos so much then you better have a rethink, the only thing that pains them about ESN is that they stood up to resist the massacre of Igbos in their land. Now that it seems the fulani terrorists are starting to resume their attacks little by little, see them already salivating and waiting to celebrate another massacre in Igboland.
