Anger spreads over killings by herdsmen in Enugu



For the Fear of 'Ogbunigwe', maybe President Muhammad Buhari can now TAKE ACTION.
Anger spreads over killings by herdsmen
Governor in tears
Reps, Emir of Ilorin, Bishop, others outraged!
There is anger across the country over killings by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
The latest is the Monday night attack on an Enugu community where no fewer than 48 people are believed to have been killed.
The House of Representatives has summoned the Director General of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) to appear before it over the herdsmen’s activities.
Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly Rita Maduagwu wept during a session on the herdsmen’s killings yesterday.Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu urged President Muhammadu Buhari to take action.
Minister of Agriculture Audu Ogbeh said unless a drastic action is taken, the activities of the herdsmen could destroy the nation.
The Igbo Assembly in the North called for a check of the violence. The Movement for the Actualization of Biafra (MASSOB) issued an ultimatum to the Federal Government.
The Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Sulu Gambari, told visiting Vice President Yemi Osinbajo that a halt must be put to the activities of the herdsmen.
The Archbishop of Anglican Communion (Enugu Archdiocese) Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma, warned that if nothing was done to check the Fulani herdsmen, he would personally ask the pro-Biafra groups to declare a war against them.
The fiery cleric, who was visibly angry over Monday’s attack on an Enugu community, said it was now clear that the Federal Government controlled security agencies deliberately engaged in selective negligence.
He called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in Igboland.
The Archbishop was surprised that many hours after the attack, no arrest had been made.

It is no assumption any longer that remnants of Boko Haram have been spreading across all over Nigeria, in what appears to be herdsmen killing innocent people.
