76 Enugu Indigenes Granted Bail Over Clash With Fulani Herdsmen by tunjijones(op): 12:19pm On Apr 02, 2016

THE 76 Ugwuleshi people in Awgu Community, Enugu State, detained at the Umuahia Prisons, were yesterday granted bailed by the Magistrate Courts, Umuahia, Abia State.

They were arrested by soldiers for protesting the alleged abduction of two of their women by Fulani herdsmen and hurriedly charged with arson and illegal possession of arms and clamped into the prison for two weeks.

Following public outcry and condemnation, they were arraigned in Court yesterday in two Magistrate Courts on a five count charge bordering on arson and illegal possession of dangerous weapons, and burning down 90 houses at Obinwanne Fulani Community Settlement in Umunneochi. When the charges were read to them, they pleaded not guilty.

The presiding Magistrate granted them bail in the sum of N200,000 each with five sureties who must be resident in Umuahia or Umunneochi.

Alternatively, the traditional ruler of he community would sign with two other prominent persons who are resident in Umuahia or Umunneochi.

Their bail conditions were perfected at about 4.47pm, prompting them to erupt in jubilation in the court premises for breathing air of freedom after two weeks of imprisonment. The matter was adjourned to April 29, 2016 for trial.

Reacting to the development, the traditional ruler of the Community, Igwe Godwin Nwobi expressed happiness that his people have been granted bail, saying “at least I can now sleep”. The monarch has been in Umuahia for three days, trying to effect the release of the people.

Also the law maker representing them in the Enugu State House of Assembly, Mr. Nelson Ogunji said he was happy that his constituents have been granted bail, just as he lamented their arrest in the first place.

In your bid to hurriedly bleat and self-service over the situation,you forget to read the full article.

Honestly, this doesn't speak well for proponents of one Nigeria.

The citizens keep forcing themselves, against all odds, to remain loyal and hopeful for the nation. But the government always does what it is good at: Prove them wrong, leave them undefended, keep them disillusioned and treat them unjustly in every of its actions.

These people were not protesting. They were arrested for law breaking activities - they have no business taking the law in their own hands.

Good God! Not even an attempt to investigate and rescue the kidnapped citizens yet they were incarcerated far longer than constitutionally allowed?

The security agencies have become too daring and partisan for their good and that of this hellhole.

Nigerians, I hope you now know your status in this country.

Fulani herdsman is free to kill you,but you are not free to kill him.

He is free to abduct your wives and daughters and murder your men, but you have no right to protest or revenge.

He is free to carry ak47, supposedly to protect cows, but you have no right to bear any arm, not even a penknife.

If you dare break the status quo, the police and army will attack you, that is if the fulani herdsmen don't kill you first.

Welcome to the bondage vested on us all by buhari.

Buhari can't deny it, he is happy that fulanis killed nigerians with reckless abandon.

If the villagers were arrested and no terror herdsman (who are always the aggressors) was arrested, it is safe to say that the soldiers that executed the arrest, or the senior officers that ordered the arrest were sympathetic to the expansionist fulani terrorists.
