Killings by Fulani herdsmen: Bloody days ahead

  • MASSOB: Herdsmen must leave Igbo land or face our wrath

  • Bishop: We’ll declare war on herdsmen

  • Enugu gov weeps

  • Afenifere: Nigeria on path of disintegration

Tension is building in the country over the Monday attack in Ukpabi Nimbo in Uzouwani Local Government Area of Enugu State by Fulani herdsmen. 

No fewer than 30 people died in the attack while houses, including a church, were destroyed.
There are fears of bloody days ahead as various ethnic groups threaten reprisal over the perennial killings by herdsmen across the states. Already, some Hausa and Fulani living in Enugu are taking refuge in the Army barracks. The Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) yesterday declared that it would not watch while the Fulani herdsmen killed Ndigbo. The group said that the Enugu killing smacked of ethnic cleansing. MASSOB, in a statement by its Director of Information, Edeson Samuel, asked all Igbo youths and groups to be on the alert. It said: “We wish to remind Ndigbo and Biafrans that this killing and destruction of property of our people by Fulani herdsmen is getting out of hands.
