Herdsmen Kill Enugu Grandma Two Months After Slaughtering Daughter, Son-in-law by Islie: 4:10pm On Aug 04, 2021
An elderly woman identified simply as Anna has been killed by suspected herdsmen barely two months after the same fate befell her daughter and son-in-law.

Anna was among the eight people killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen at Okpokwu Mgbuji community in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, on Sunday.

It was gathered that Anna had recently buried her daughter, Chinyere Ede and son-in-law, Japhet Ede, who were killed in an earlier attack carried out by herdsmen in the community.

The couple were killed alongside two others on May 27, 2021, at Okpokwu Mgbuji and were laid to rest on July 22.

Trouble reportedly started when the herders were stopped from cutting down an economic tree to feed their cattle. The interruption led to heated arguments between the community members and the herders.

It was further learnt that the community members succeeded in pursuing the Fulani herders and their cattle from further destruction of the economic tree.

However, the herders later re-grouped in a calculated revenge mission, and attacked the community, killing several people.

Meanwhile, in an earlier report, Bishop of Anglican Diocese of Eha-Amufu, Rt Rev Daniel Nkemjika Olinya, had explained what transpired to Daily Sun.

He registered his concerns that herdsmen attacks in farm settlements in the affected Mgbuji community and its neighbours had been on the rise and the government had not done enough to end the attacks.

"This is the third time the armed herdsmen are invading the Mgbuji community this year, aside from indiscriminate kidnappings which we have lost count of. Most of the time, they invade the community, kidnap and kill the victims, many of them. The last attack before this Sunday’s attack led to the death of six people. Five of them have not been buried and, now they came again this time and killed eight persons," he said.

Tragic news
Third time they are invading the community yet government hasn't come to their aid.

Wouldn't be surprising to hear a fourth time even though we don't wish it.

*Armed herdsmen invade Enugu community, kill 8, destroy farmlands*

Pregnant woman killed, fetus
removed.

From Fred Ezeh, Abuja
Suspected armed herdsmen invaded
the Mgbuji community in Eha-Amufu,
Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of
Enugu State, and killed eight people,
injured and kidnapped many people,
and also destroyed farmlands.
There are rising fears in the
community that causalities may rise
in the coming days due to the level
of injuries sustained by some of the
villagers who were caught in the
attacks.
A villager, Chinaza Akan, who
witnessed the incident said one of
the casualties was a pregnant woman
who was killed by the armed
herdsmen, her stomach opened and
fetus removed, while some were
people who went for marriage event.
Some villagers told Daily Sun that the
armed herdsmen invaded the
community on Sunday afternoon
through the border they have with the
Benue community and attacked
several farm settlers and other
unlucky people caught in the farm.
The villagers said the attacks have
risen in recent times with massive
casualties, and little or no effort have
been made by the Police or the state
government to end the attacks.
Bishop of Anglican Diocese of Eha-
Amufu, Rt Rev Daniel Nkemjika
Olinya, who confirmed the
development to Daily Sun , painted a
horrible and gory picture of the
inhumane actions of the herdsmen.
He registered his concerns that
herdsmen attacks in farm settlements
in the affected Mgbuji community
and its neighbours have been on the
rise and the government has not
done enough to end the attacks.
‘This is the third time the armed
herdsmen are invading the Mgbuji
community this year, aside from
indiscriminate kidnappings which we
have lost count of. Most of the time,
they invade the community, kidnap
and kill the victims, many of them.
The last attack before this Sunday’s
attack led to the death of six people.
Five of them have not been buried
and, now they came again this time
and killed eight persons,’ he said.
‘Some people said the rising attacks
in the recent time could be linked to
the eviction notice given to the
herdsmen and other conditions of
operation that are, perhaps,
unacceptable to the herdsmen.
‘For instance, some of the people
who were kidnapped and released
recently by the armed herdsmen
stated that the herdsmen insisted
that they would continue their
criminal actions until IPOB leader,
Nnamdi Kanu, drop his agitations for
Biafra.’
Bishop Olinya further confirmed that
the Police came on Monday, 24
hours after the attacks, with the
intention of taking away the corpses,
but the community members resisted
them because they have not released
other corpses in their custody for
burial.
The community members said the
Police asked that they sign
undertaking before they could release
the corpses to the family members
for burial. But the undertaking, as
gathered, was not favourable to the
community, hence they withheld their
signature.
He said that part of the undertaking
was that they would allocate land to
the Fulani people, accept and live
together with them whenever they
return to the community, and that
was unacceptable to the community
members. So, the corpses are still
with the police.
He called on the Enugu government
to take action on these armed
herdsmen.
‘Our people are living in fear and
anxiety. They no longer go to their
farms because these armed
herdsmen have occupied locations
where food are produced for local
consumption and supply to the state.
‘The Anglican Bishop said the state
government is aware of what’s
happening in the community contrary
to the belief that they are unaware,
but the government has deliberately
refused to take strong actions
against the activities of herdsmen.
‘Unfortunately, the state government
had chosen to shift their
responsibilities to members of the
Neighborhood Security Watch Outfit
who are obviously ill-equipped to
confront these armed herdsmen.
Neither modern weapons, logistics,
operational vehicles nor motivations
were provided to enable them to
respond to the attacks.
‘These armed herdsmen rape and kill
our women and men who go to the
farm for one reason or another. The
implication is that there might be a
scarcity of food next year, and that
could be disastrous and have a
significant impact on the economy of
Eha-Amufu and beyond. Imagine that
a basin of garri that used to be sold
at N2,500 has risen to N10,000 to
N12,000. People, unarguably, are
dying of hunger.’
Meanwhile, one of the members of
the neighbourhood watch in the
community who pleaded anonymity
also confirmed the development and
accused the security agents,
particularly the police of championing
the interest of the armed herdsmen.
‘Why would they take custody of the
remains of the victims of the
previous herdsmen attacks, insisting
that the community must sign an
undertaking which, obviously, was
unrealistic and unfavourable to the
community.
‘Police insisted that the community
must provide land for the herdsmen
for habitation which is not possible.
‘These herdsmen are wicked, deadly,
and not people we can live with,’ he
said.

His car shattered with bullet holes , the man of God also give thanks to God for saving his life.

Nigerian police and army are busy supplying them arms and logistics.


After announcing the flag-off of ebubeakpu, both the governors and their ebubeakpu are nowhere to be found.

One is busy invoking ojukwu's manhood to help him plant his stooge to coverup his 8years of drunkenness.
