At least 10 people have been killed in a brutal attack by suspected gunmen on Amagu village in Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

The suspected herders also selectively burned houses and destroyed properties valued at millions of naira in the community.

The incident happened on Sunday.

According to the state police command spokesperson, Joshua Ukandu, security operatives recovered 10 bodies after the attack.

Ukandu stated that the police are currently investigating the incident, and normalcy has returned to the area.

“Several houses were also burnt selectively in the area, and other properties destroyed. Upon receipt of the information, we drafted police operatives to the area.

“We are currently investigating the incident while normalcy has returned to the area,” the PPRO stated.

“We also recovered 10 corpses from the area. At the moment, our personnel are there, and normalcy is returning to the area,” Ukandu added.

Eyewitnesses reported that the attackers, armed with cutlasses and guns, launched the attack in the early hours of Sunday.

The Chairperson of Ishielu LGA, Mrs. Ifeoma Agwu, confirmed that authorities are still evacuating bodies and assessing the full extent of the casualties.

Former Ebonyi State University Academic Staff Union of Universities (EBSU-ASUU) Chairman, Prof. Ndubuisi Idenyi, a resident of the community, described the attack as tragic.

“My village, Amegu Nkalaha, was attacked today by herdsmen. Many have been killed, and houses have been razed. What a black Sunday!” he lamented. Prof. Idenyi noted that the casualty count could increase as security agencies and local authorities intensify recovery efforts, especially in farmlands.

The attack has sent shockwaves through the community, and authorities are working to restore peace and order.

The communal clash in Ebonyi state is decades old.

Ebonyi state government should follow Anambra state method, and set up a strong state security organ that will hunt and dismantle terrorists Fulani herdsmen. Community chiefs that gives them lands must also be prosecuted and jailed.
