Scores of herdsmen in Agbala, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo state on Tuesday were severely wounded after a band of herders freely used dangerous weapons on each other following a disagreement over missing cows.

Two of the herdsmen were fatally injured and rushed to the emergency Unit of the Federal Medical Center, Owerri by stunned villagers.

According to an eyewitness, the situation would have led to a possible attack on the village if it was not witnessed by other herders.

The source said: “What happened was that a herdsman had gone into the bush where his kinsman and his cows were staying and stabbed him while the man was sleeping. He left with his victim’s cows after he thought that he was dead.

“But another herdsman who was in the bush quickly alerted other herdsmen who came to the forest and overpowered him after stabbing his severally and thereafter recovered the stolen cows.

“It was we villagers who alerted the police. The man was rescued and the two rushed to the emergency unit of FMC, Owerri.”

The source added that it would be a miracle if the two survive, as their conditions were said to be critical.

The development caused heavy gridlock on Owerri-Aba Road.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Orlando Ikeokwu, a Superintendent of Police, said that the two herders were responding to treatments at the hospital.

He said that it was Policemen from the Agbala Police Division that rushed the herders to the hospital following a distress call from people.

Daniel said he was still confused on what next steps to take.

Another victim, Festus Maxwell Osaeruoname, wondered how the fire spread rapidly when there was no power supply to the market.

According to him: ” We are yet to ascertain what actually happened the led to the fire. We could not remove anything from our shops.

“Many boys that just got freedom from their masters and open their shops. They are yet to repay the loans they took from various banks.”

Chairman of Spare Sparts Delears Association , Mr. Ibie Osaretin Augustine, said the fire incident has compounded the low patronage they are witnessing due to bad roads that lead to the market.

Augustine said the four security guard hired by the traders were being questioned by the police.

He said he received an anonymous call that the market was on fire and when he called the security personnel on ground, he was told that it was somebody burning something in a close by street.

His words: “When the security man told me somebody was burning something, I told him to check properly and he told me it was the line where my shop is located that was on fire.

“I called the Edo Fire Service but they did not come. The entire market would have been razed if fire men had not come from UNIBEN and the Nigerian Army.

“For now, we do not suspect any foul play but we have held meeting to appease those affected and stood any suicidal attempt.

“We beg the state government to rebuild the market because we are using loan from micro-finance bank.”

Pastor Enoch Adeboye while preaching at the Holy Ghost Service of the Redeemed Christian Church of God 67th Annual Convention on Friday August 9, recalled how God told him about the danger Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was in before the helicopter crash he survived in February with his team in Kabba area of Kogi State.

According to the RCCG General Overseer, God whispered to him while in his prayer room that his son (Yemi Osinbajo) was in danger.

“I got the message but I didn’t know how to present it,” he said. “He was going around on political campaigns so I didn’t know how to stop him. I also didn’t want him to be scared so I resorted to praying for him.”

The General Overseer said he prayed for two minutes, repeating “Father, protect your son,” four times.

Recall that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in his testimony after the February crash he escaped unhurt, said he did not understand why the pastor repeated the prayer of safety for him.

“I briefed him on the progress we have made with the campaign and then the General Overseer prayed for God’s protection for me in all my travels and movements.

“That was not what the devil had planned but what did the headline read, Vice President Osinbajo’s helicopter crashes all unhurt, not one crash,” Osinbajo said during a thanksgiving service in Lokoja.
