Again, Unknown Gunmen Storm Ebonyi Village, Kill Many People, Burn Houses

By Wisdom Nwedene

A yet to be identified gunmen on Thursday invaded Nwekendiagu Village, in Effium, Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.


IGBERE TV gathered that the gunmen invaded the village in the early hours of Thursday morning, killing at least fifteen persons and burnt over 200 houses including a Fuel station located in the area.


Speaking to IGBERE TV correspondent on the condition of anonymity, a resident of the area that fled from the village due to the crisis fingered Effium warriors to be behind the attack.

According to him, "yes, the effiumite warriors attacked a village called Nwekendiagu and killed more than 15 persons and burnt more 200 houses including fuel station."

IGBERE TV recalls that on 9th March, 2021, suspected gunmen from Uffiom attacked Omege People in Ebonyi State killing people in their dozen.

IGBERE TV correspondent gathered that houses were equally burnt and five persons kidnapped from Omege village.

IGBERE TV gathered that the crisis ensued as a result of a misunderstanding between two factions of Effium branch of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) over which group to be in-charge of collecting revenue in the Effium motor park.

Residents of the area said over one thousand have been killed in the crisis, but Ebonyi state government claimed only eight persons have been killed.

IGBERE TV reports that the ugly incident is happening despite that the State government had freed the stakeholders of both clans who were earlier arrested and detained for days by the Police on the orders of Governor David Umahi, for allowing such crisis to erupt in the area.

The Governor who had vowed not to free the stakeholders until peace returned, made a u-turn last week, by releasing them with a charge to go to their area and ensure that absolute peace returned.

The Stakeholders, in compliance to the government directive, returned home to preach peace to their people, but fillers from the area indicate that their efforts yielded no result, as hostilities between the two clans have continued to persist.

Their business, e no concern me.

Na wah

This stupid National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) should be banned in all the states.

Violence is one monopoly we enjoy as Fulani herdsmen people. Please good people of Ebonyi, Don't follow our ways because it does not fit you.

This is obviously done by idiotic Fulani terrorist. You can see it's their modus operandi.

Online country wahala...my hand no dey there..

Wow

Umahi should wade into this ezza and effium crisis

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

UGM is going for the Nigeria military not villagers, this is Fulani herdsmen at work.

Ndigbo, umu nnem, pls let's sheath our sword. We are one family. We can always agree to disagree but not to kill or maim ourselves. Where is the beauty of life,,? Why kill ourselves in this brutal manner,? If we continue to kill ourselves, what do we do when the real enemy surfaces? Biko, onye obuna metu nwane ya aka si ya afuru ngi n'anya, ibu onye uwa oma

Residents of the area said over one thousand have been killed in the crisis, but Ebonyi state government claimed only eight persons have been killed.

If over one thousand people have been killed so how many people come remain for Ebonyi?

Unknown gunmen will soon meet their Waterloo from the military.

By the way so Igbos too have NURTW? Why do they always waste their time on Oluomo when thousands are dying in their backyard over the same NURTW?

If hypocrisy is a tribe, it’ll probably be a SE’ner.

communial clash or nurtw clash

Another 15( more) souls are lost... In SE Nigeria. --- unknown gunmen.

It was Mc Oluomo and Tinubu. Since news don dey carry everything wey dey happen for Alaigbo now, their secret don dey come out.

Abakaliki people disgracing igboland since the days of nwiboko

So Agberos of south east have been on killing spree to the extent of over 1000 dead and over 200 houses burnt.

Nyamiris should put their house in order and stop pokenosing in other peoples problem when their own is worse.

I can't imagine 1000 people killed in any state in south west or over 200 houses burnt because of agberos faction war

Blood just being shed with lives being wasted yet a governor and president are playing politics with the ugly developments.

Foolish! Is this carnage close to what wakili did in Abeokuta?


Almost half of Ogun state residents are eating watery beans in Niger IDP homes and your lord Tinubu could not do anything, but tomorrow you people will want to claim sophistication.

Moronic imbeciles.

Ezi, were did you see 1000 dead people? You people will always wish SE to be like Abeokuta where Wakili killed more than 10,000 people and
Displaced an entire Local government, but no, Alaigbo will always continue to be peaceful, cus we Ndigbo are peace loving people.

We will never be like North East where terrorism is the new religion!
