Fulani herdsmen invade Enugu: Kill 100
According to an anonymous eyewitness, the herdsmen numbering about 300 stormed the community with guns and machetes.
About 100 people have been reported killed as suspected herdsmen invaded Nimbo, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State on Monday, April 25, 2016.
Some
reports however said at least five people were killed in the attack,
but according a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Femi Fani-Kayode, 100 Igbo people were slaughtered by the herdsmen.
Confirming the incident, spokesman for the Enugu Police Command, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, told journalists in Nsukka that police are already at the scene to curtail the situation.
"The
police are aware of the attack in Uzo-Uwani and the state commissioner
of police is already there to ensure that the situation is brought under
control," he said, but did not any figure on casualties recorded.
“The
police are also collaborating with sister security agencies like the
army, civil defence and the Department of State Services to handle the
situation."
