Ohanaeze demands action from S’East govs after Enugu herders’ attack




The Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has strongly condemned the recent attack by herdsmen in the Nimbo community, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State, which resulted in the death of four persons.

The victims are Okeh Oruku, Okeh Chukwuemeka, Julius Odiegwu, and Gabriel Ezea.

In a statement on Tuesday by its Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze Ndigbo described the killings as “a heinous and deliberate assault on its people, particularly those living in boundary communities.”

The group refused to accept that the attacks were mere coincidences, following the lamentations of the Northern Elders Forum over similar incidents.

“There is a disturbing pattern emerging, and we urge immediate action to uncover the truth behind these violent reprisals,” the statement read.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo called upon the South-East governors, the Inspector General of Police, and other relevant security agencies to launch a thorough investigation into the renewed killings, stating, “The lives of South-East residents, especially vulnerable farmers in rural areas, must be safeguarded.”

“We implore our leaders to rise to the occasion and provide the necessary protection for our communities under siege,” the statement urged.

Extending condolences to Governor Peter Mba of Enugu State and the bereaved families in the Nimbo community, Ohanaeze Ndigbo demanded that the perpetrators of the atrocities face the full consequences of their actions.

“As we navigate through this perilous period, we call on South East residents to collaborate with community vigilante groups and security forces to enhance the security of our rural areas. We must remain vigilant and united in the face of potential attacks aimed at disrupting our farming seasons and creating false insecurities to hinder our food production,” the statement read.

Furthermore, Ohanaeze Ndigbo urged the South-East Governors to reinstate the ban on the conveyance of cattle by foot within the region, asserting that “cattle-rearing operations must adhere to established laws and respect the peace of our host communities.”

I know someone who said that an Igbo man sold hectares of land to an Hausa man in that area. That the land sold to the Hausa man has become an autonomous area of the state. He said once crime is committed in that environ the culprits run into there to mix up with the unsuspecting Hausa community. He said if I find myself there I wouldn't know that I am still in Igbo land as the place has been completely hausanised. According to him the culprits of the crime have gone hidden there.

Their people are online here chest-beating that the terrorist herdsmen can't try any nonsense in the southeast as they are doing in other regions, claiming that other regions are cowards, they are either oblivious or hypocritical about the fact that the terrorists are doing worse in the Southeast . It is even more painful when the UGM\ESN are killing their own hardworking\innocent people in the guise of implementing sit-at-home, while these terrorists go about freely carrying out their evil agenda\activities
