Fulani Herdsman Arrested With AK-47 In Enugu by Nobody: 8:10am On Apr 07, 2018
Ihuoma Chiedozie, Enugu

A suspected Fulani herdsman has been arrested with an AK 47 assault rifle in Enugu.

The incident happened at Ugbawka village in Nkanu East Local Government Area of the state, on Thursday.



Our correspondent learnt that the herdsman was initially apprehended by some youths of the village, who were suspicious of his presence in the agrarian community.

It was gathered that upon interrogation by the youths, said to be members of a vigilante outfit, the unnamed herdsman could not explain his mission and the reason he was bearing the deadly weapon in the community.

Sources in the village revealed that the gun was loaded with live cartridges.

The armed cattle rearer was subsequently handed over to the police.

Findings by Southern City News indicate that the herdsman was still in custody on Friday.

It was further gathered that the development led to tension in the community, as anxious youths and other members of the village mobilised themselves in anticipation of retaliatory attacks by Fulani herdsmen, who operate in large numbers in the area.

However, a team from the police anti-terrorism unit, as well as some men of the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, Enugu, had to be deployed to the village in order to avert any breakdown of law and order on Friday.

Police Public Relations Officer, Enugu State Police Command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the development, said the situation in Ugbawka village was under control.



“As I speak with you, I am on my way back to Enugu; I am in the entourage of the Commissioner of Police, we went to Ugbawka to assess the situation and there is no cause for alarm. There is calm,” the police spokesman said when contacted on Friday.

Natives of Ugbawka village, who are mostly rice farmers, have been having series of confrontations with herdsmen operating within their community.

The villagers have accused the cattle rearers of destroying their rice farms.

Like Ugbawka, other agrarian communities in Enugu State have been experiencing anxious moments as a result of the activities of Fulani herdsmen.

In 2016, several persons were killed when suspected Fulani herdsmen invaded Ukpabi Nimbo, a community in the Uzo-Uwani area of Enugu.

The Ukpabi Nimbo massacre, as the attack came to be known, led to the establishment of vigilante outfits in all the villages in the state, a development, which has reduced the frequency and scale of herdsmen attacks in Enugu State.

IF THESE ENUGU PEOPLE DO NOT DESERVE TO BE SLAUGHTERED BY THESE HERDSMEN, WHAT REALLY STOPPED THEM FROM GIVING THE HERDSMAN INSTANT JUNGLE JUSTICE ?


WHEN HERDSMEN KILL YOUR PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME, THEN IT IS THEIR FAULT.


BUT WHEN THEY DO IT REPEATEDLY TO YOU OR YOUR NEIGBOURS, AND YOU DID NOT SLAUGHTER THEM LIKE THEIR COWS, THEM YOU ARE THE FOOL ..........!


NIGERIAN MILITARY ARE UNDER INSTRUCTIONS NOT TO TOUCH THE HERDMENS, SO DO NOT EXPECT HELP FROM THEM.


I WISH THEY COULD FIND THEIR WAY TO MY TOWN AND SEE HOW MANY OF THEM WILL LEAVE ALIVE IF THEY EVEN KILL JUST ONE OF OUR CHICKEN ................


THIS IS SO BECAUSE YOU DO MY PEOPLE, WE WILL ALL DO YOU BACK.

ok! Good move. Thank God they did not claim that he is from Libya!

The villagers needs to be extra vigilant now cause that one caught was sent to peruse the area

Don't rely totally on the Nigerian police/army words.

Defend yourselves.
N.B: They will not show the picture of the fulani herdmen caught but let it be Dino or other perceived enemy of the APC now

You will see media trial you will see picture, the place of origin, place of residence and the quick action of the police/army

Why is the locations of the fulani herdsmen difficult for our armies to locate and disband over the years

Lagos is sitting on a keg of gun powder. Last week fagba junction,7:30 pm. We saw about 3trucks carrying heavily armed masked men. They were not soldiers,but dressed exactly like militia men armed with spears,bow and arrows and guns I don't know the names of those guns. The way they were positioned like the were ready to shoot anyone who tried to take pictures of them. No single policeman was around,which was very unusual. People ran for dear life. I heard people whispering that they were going towards the abatoir. I don't know if Lagos state govt is aware of this became they say these people who come with their cattle from the north have been buring arms inside and around the abatoir . 50% of lagosians àre from the north. These people are stacking up ammunision for God knows why.

They want to take over Lagos state. Very soon, those 3 men whose statuses signify Eko ni baje will be changed to statutes of Fulani men with spears
