Nwodibo Ekechukwu, the commissioner of police for Enugu state, says the killings of nine people in Nimbo community was carried out by suspected herdsmen.

This appears to contradict a statement released by the state police on Wednesday saying that the killers were “mere hoodlums”.

“First of all, let me extend my condolence to the families, it is painful to us and we would get to the root of the matter,” he said in an interview with Channels TV.

“The present situation is that one more person died and two additional corpses were discovered, making the death toll nine, and nine people are also injured and still receiving treatment at the hospital.

“Well, the allegation, the suspicion is that they are herdsmen. The suspicion is that they are herdsmen. We are working on that, at the appropriate time, their full identity will be disclosed.”

He said the killings were done in cold blood in the community while farmers tried to make their means from early hour farming.

“The genesis was that on the 25th between 6:30 and 7:00am, the suspected herdsmen invaded Nimbo community, Enugu state.

“They came through the bushes and while coming through the bushes, they slaughtered people in a most barbaric manner. In their farms. Those who went early to farm.

“They decided to slaughter them, so that they would not use gunshot in a way that would attract the attention of law enforcement.

“Eventually, they came to the fringes of the town, they burnt one house with a vehicle contained in a garage, then of course a bus nearby.

“By the time our men noticed what was happening, they went there and exchange gunfire with them, successfully repelled them with some of them carrying bullet wounds.”

President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the police, at a book launch on Wednesday, to bring the perpetrators to book.

“By the time our men noticed what was happening, they went there and exchange gunfire with them, successfully repelled them with some of them carrying bullet wounds.”

Suspected herdsmen!!! Now the question is; why would any "herdsmen" just wake up one morning and start killing innocent people indiscriminately even without any provocation? From this report, one can clearly see that the herdsmen and the community have never had any clash, no herdsmen/farmers clash was ever reported. I googled and studied the demography of that nimba uzo community yesterday, and I couldn't even see any place were a single cow can graze. The grasses over their were not the type of grass the average Fulani cattle will eat.

Anyway after I did my little research, I sent my work to the appropriate person. Like I always said, this "invincible herdsmen" story must be unveiled. And the truth will speak at last.

You must be thinking & writing this piece of Shit from your An*s. Are you this Daft?. Get some Sense

Wat r u insinuating? dat d herdsmen exist only in stories

fiizznation:
The entire Fulani herdsmen attacking a community for no just reason doesn't make an iota of sense. Furthermore, I was able to identify the major grazing fields for the Fulani cattle in Nigeria. And the southeast is not on that list, meaning Fulani herdsmen rarely take their cows to the eastern part of this country. Borno state is the number one grazing destination for Fulani herdsmen. So I challenge anybody from Enugu or southeastern Nigeria to just show me one picture of Fulani herdsmen grazing in their lands.

fiizznation:
Herdsmen exist, true. But what I still don't believe is the lies being told everyday, which is Fulani herdsmen carried out the nimba uzo attacks. Till date nobody has brought any concrete evidence that will implicate the Fulani herdsmen as the real culprits. All I have been hearing is hearsay

fiizznation:
Everybody knew that Fulani herdsmen kidnapped the respected elderly statesman, chief olu falae. There were pictorial and video evidences. The culprits were also interviewed. I believed that story and I know my brothers did it. The Ogun incident too came with a lot of evidences that Fulani herdsmen were involved.

But this particular nimba uzo incident is very ludicrous. The entire thing looks like some kind of acting. Fulani people don't roam around that area with their cattle(I have evidences). The reports were clashing with one another. Vanguard knew about the attack even before it happened and they didn't report it to DSS, army etc. How could 500 later 50 herdsmen attack a community without any provocation?

CyberWolf:
Are you fvcking kidding me U stay in London there be typing this trash with your krokro fingers .. As in you mean there is no Fulani Herdsmen in SE? You are very dumb and a dangerous pretender. You people's plan will not work because Nigerians are wiser now.

fiizznation:
Me residing in London or Jupiter is not the issue here. What I want from you is too show me any evidence of Fulani herdsmen roaming around with their cattle in your region. Let's do away with all the names calling here my friend. I believe we are trying to educate one another here.

For you to request for evidence of Fulani herdsmen in SE shows that you are very sick in the head, that kind of sickness is called madness and it's only serious flogging that can cure that madness. Just hang around this thread, you will get ur cure.

mekaboy:


Please if u don't have anything meaningful to stay keep quiet. You do your research online and u can tell the type of grass that grows in enugu and the type the cow can eat from the internet.

You can as well tell where the chibok girls are in sambisa. Nonsense.

fiizznation:
You can bring any kind of evidence you wish to bring of Fulani herdsmen activities in your region, I mean anything. Look here my friend, I spend about 6 good hours of my time understanding the demography of the southeast and the grazing fields of Fulani herdsmen in southern Nigeria. All I ever wanted was for any of you to debunk my findings but unfortunately you guys are not doing that, instead you all have resorted to name callings.

Insults is not my thing please and I detest it, you lots can have a nice day since you can't debunk my findings
