Tension in Ukpabi Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani local government area of Enugu state Fulani herdsmen are allegedly plotting to invade the area and displace residents for cattle-grazing.

Vanguard reports that at the weekend, the herdsmen at Adani imported about 500 others from Nasarawa state to help launch the attack on the community.
Meanwhile, stakeholders from the local government held a meeting where they tried to find solutions to the increased attacks by herdsmen on communities.
In the last six months, over 15 people were kidnapped and several women from the area were raped.

According to sources, Cornell Onwubuya, the chairman of the Transition Committee in Uzo-Uwani local government area, alerted Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the state commissioner of police on the development.
During the emergency meeting in Enugu, Onwubuya also alerted the leaders of the Fulani community in the state and stakeholders from Uzo-Uwani.

According to him, the meeting was convened to address the allegation that herdsmen planned to import about 500 of their tribesmen to enable them invade some communities in the area.
Onwubuya noted that local leaders of the Fulani community also confirmed that there were attempts to bring in mercenaries for the attack on the communities. He added that the Fulani leaders in the state had earlier complained that some of their people were killed within the axis of Ukpabi Nimbo and Abbi communities in the recent past.

Also speaking at the meeting, Alhaji Haldo Saidu Baso, the Enugu state leader of the Fulani community, said that he had lived in the state for over 33 years and would not be alive to witness the type of crises that they were talking about.
Baso resolved to talk to his people in the state not take the laws into their hands.
“We will travel to Nasarawa state to talk to the cattle owners and stakeholders to warn the rustlers in Enugu state to stay away from trouble,” he said.

If they are 'planning' then the people of Enugu better resist and terminate their plans with everything they got. Enough of the cowardly reactions to this menace abeg.

The police, DSS and army will pretend to be unaware now, when villagers try to challenge the Fulani vampires the authorities will immediately swing into action arresting every living thing in the village and giving credence to the term used by Kanuists to describe this country.

And if they succeed then the government has again failed...I hope the community mobilises their youth and the government security agents are awake to their duties. Enough of impunity....

Uzo Uwani again!
Ndi-Uzo Uwani should remain there and keep waiting for Gov. Ugwuanyi to come to their rescue. Maybe, it's when they are slaughtered like Agatu people shall they sit up and act like men. I think it's time we invite the head hunting group over there to cure this Fulani madness once and for all.
Ndi-Abia should come and teach this efulefus what real men do in Igboland.

They are doing that with Army back up, the only thing they can do now is to expose their plan through media as they are doing. Nigeria Army normally fight for fulani herdmen

The government should step into this situation, it is becoming worrisome.

Fulani herdsmen cant defeat any community youth in any part of southern Nigeria, the problem is the army and police back up that they have
