ENUGU—Another victim of
the last Thursday’s dawn attack by herdsmen on Ndiagu, Attaukwu in
Akagbe-Ukwu community, Nkanu-West Local Government Area of Enugu State,
Mrs. Ifeoma Agbo, yesterday died at the Mother of Christ Hospital,
Enugu, Enugu State.
Armed Fulani-herdsmen

Mrs. Agbo was the mother-in-law, of the six-month pregnant woman, whose
stomach was ripped open by the over 50 rampaging herdsmen, who invaded
their community and killed a seminarian, Lazarus Nwafor.
Meanwhile, reactions have continued to trail the invasion of the village
by the herdsmen as the Civil Liberties Organisation, CLO, Senator
Gilbert Nnaji and Enugu State Councillors Forum described the incident
as unwarranted and called on the state government to protect the people
of the state.
CLO flays killings
The Civil Liberties Organisation, CLO, in a statement, yesterday, while
condemning the brazen murder and killing of innocent citizens in
different parts of the South East region by herdsmen, described it as
callous.
Mr Aloysius Attah, Chairman, CLO, South East Zone in a statement,
yesterday, said: “The latest incident that happened last Thursday when
Ndigbo were yet to get over the shock of the Nimbo and Uzo Uwani
killings in this same manner is callous, provocative, wicked,
premeditated and smacks of a clear intent to continue decimating a
particular ethnic group even in their own fatherland.
Attah urged the governor of Enugu State to immediately summon all the
traditional rulers and President General of all the communities in the
state to ascertain the actual number of communities harbouring the
herdsmen in any form.
He said further: “This is pure act of barbarism and terrorism against
the people while the actors are emboldened to carry on in their ignoble
role because we were made to understand that some people own the country
while others are second class citizens.
“We had noted that beside the killings at Nimbo, in Enugu State, other
cases have been reported at various parts of the South East, including
Amaoha in Ikwuano Local Government of Abia State, where a herdsman was
alleged to have pulled a rifle aimed at killing the traditional ruler of
the community and some of his subjects.
“While we commend the Enugu State governor, Mr Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the
Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Rt. Rev. Callistus Onaga, for their
prompt and timely visits to the scene of the latest incident and their
interface with the people of the area to douse tension, we dare say that
the situation has turned desperate and also needs desperate solution.
Senator Nnaji
Meanwhile, Senator Gilbert Nnaji, representing Enugu East Senatorial
District, said he was particularly saddened that the killing by the
suspected cattle rearers happened again in Enugu, and this time, in his
senatorial constituency, just a few months after the gruesome invasion
and attack on Nimbo, another community in Enugu North Senatorial Zone.
Nnaji appealed to the leaders and people of Ndiagu Attakwu in
Akegbe-Ugwu community not to take laws into their hands by
contemplating reprisal action against the Fulani herdsmen anywhere in
the state until investigations were concluded.
He, however, called on the Federal Government to be more proactive in
stepping up a “water tight security” in Enugu State and all other
vulnerable communities in the various states of the country where the
activities of suspected Fulani herdsmen are well pronounced.
The lawmaker also urged the owners of the cattle herds to urgently adopt
a known practice in the North-Western states like Sokoto and others,
where grazing cattles are gagged with strong woven raffia pouch before
being allowed to graze through farm lands.
Relatedly, the Enugu State Councillors Forum,ESCF, has demanded the
immediate ban on any form of grazing throughout the perimeters of the
state.
The former councillors also vowed as chief security officers in the 260
wards in the state,to put its foots on the ground to forestall a
recurrence of the dastardly act in any part of the state.
