Enugu is unfortunate to hve a gov that is only interested in food. Also notice how security agents are missing until they hear the community defending themselves then u will notice their presence. There was an attack today and not a word from the gov

Where was attacked?

gidgiddy:
Several communities in Enugu State are under attack by suspected Fulani herdsmen. From rural communities in Awgu to Oji-River, Udi, Igbo-Eze North and South, Isi-Uzo and Uzo-Uwani, among others, the story is the same.

Residents of these areas live in perpetual fear as the herdsmen run riot, killing, maiming, kidnapping and raping women without any resistance from security agents. This has led to an increase in the internally displaced persons’ centres in these areas.


The other week, some farming communities in Eha-Amu, Isi-Uzo LGA of the state, specifically Agu-Amede, Ohuolu, Ebo, Akparata and Mgbuji communities, came under heavy attacks, leading to the death of no fewer than 70 persons, with survivors leaving the communities in droves and finding refuge at the neighbouring communities and IDP camps.

In the same vein, members of the rural communities in Uzo-Uwani LGA of the state have also been living in fear, as armed herdsmen unleash terror and mayhem on farmers and residents. They kill, maim, rape and kidnap without let or hindrance.

On November 8, a 40-year-old man, Chidi Lazarus, was hacked to death at an Isi-Uvuru farmland. The unfortunate incident, in addition to the past killings, has triggered panic in the area and forced the farmers to abandon their farms and harvest.

Chidi, a commercial motorcyclist from Amunu village, was reportedly contracted by a local farmer to convey cassava tubers from her farm on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. It was reported that the young man, whose wife was heavily pregnant, left his house for the day’s business without any premonition of what fate had in stock for him.

A member of the community, Udeh Ezea, explained that the late Chidi went to the farm with a lady identified as Ngozika. While he waited for the lady to harvest the cassava tubers, three armed herdsmen accosted them over an alleged missing cow. The deceased explained to them that he was a commercial motorcyclist contracted to convey cassava tubers from the farm, but the gunmen would not listen to such an excuse as they descended on him with several machete cuts. The lady that was harvesting cassava tubers fled for her life and alerted other farmers in the area.

It was reported that Chidi effortlessly tried to ward off the machete cuts with bare hands but he couldn’t do much. When his right and left hands went limp from the deep cuts, more cuts landed on his skull till he passed out. A rescue team, mostly farmers, rushed to the scene, but it was late as the assailants had escaped, leaving behind the mutilated body of the victim, drenched in blood.

Further checks by Daily Sun revealed an upsurge in bloody attacks by herdsmen across different communities in Uzo-Uwani. In Nrobo community, one of the victims, identified as Mrs. Igamadu, suffered deep machete cuts from suspected herdsmen during an attempt to rape her on the farm. She was later rescued by vigilantes and rushed to a hospital in a pool of blood.

The herders, armed with guns and machetes, sneaked into the farm where the woman was working and leered lasciviously at her. But, she noticed what was happening and courageously rebuffed their sexual advances, and that incurred their wrath as they pounced on her with fury.

Again, an unidentified woman from Edem was reportedly abducted along a bushy road called Ugwu Ebere in Nrobo, while a commercial cyclist, Aaron Ugwuoke, escaped with machete cuts by the same tormentors. A few weeks ago, there was a reported attack on a 504 car along Ebere farmland in Nrobo, leading to the abduction of six people. The taxi driver, identified as Matthias from the neighbouring Abbi community, was among the victims. Another young man, Albert Okanya, from Ugor in Nrobo community, was abducted while returning from the farm by the same herdsmen.

A native of Nrobo community who gave his name as Okanya, told Daily Sun’s reporter that people in the area now live in fear as armed herdsmen invade and kidnap them, with little or no help coming from security agents.

“There is no effort from the security agents to rescue the abducted victims or even to prevent further attack,” he said.

Herdsmen were killing and maiming people and the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army in Enugu didn’t find it necessary to deploy troops to go and combat them but the moment ESN and some community youths got involved, 82 Division deployed a battalion to go and combat people that are trying to defend themselves against killers and unprovoked invaders.

And fools will say Atiku will get votes in Southeast.

Make we dey go sha!

Where is ESN that IPOB claimed were guarding the forests and clearing them of criminal herdsmen, or is their purpose only robbery and ritualistic cannibalism?

They have only been useful in terrorizing and inflicting damage and hardship on innocent people. I pray all the perpetrators are caught and peace returns to the land.

You people are very dishonest. Esn 2 weeks back defended and killed your herds men and their collaborators and you northerners cried to high heavens that Igbos are killing innocent northerners linking it to Peter Obi. Now you are asking where ESN is. Why did you not ask of where the Nigerian army is? Hypocrites!

Ojiofor:


Every terrorist must be dealt with wether Fulani or Igbo terrorist.

gidgiddy:


Have you ever heard that the security forces confronted armed Fulani herdsmen let alone arrested them?

Enilode:
Its well

QuotaSystem:


I did not ask where the Nigerian Army are because your IPOB terrorists have been killing, slaughtering, butchering and cannibalising them by the dozen in the name of Biafra. The innocent butchered Military couple comes to mind.

I am calling out IPOB/ESN terrorists who have been recording themselves chasing cows claiming to have been securing the East meanwhile all they have succeeded in doing is robbing, kidnapping and killing their fellow Igbos and forcing them to sit at home under the barrel of their guns.

if every region is to vote their own, who do you think will win?
You said you don't want military or police check point,why then are you blaming the military.
Btw, someone just wrote rubbish without single evidence and you jump to conclusions.
