Fulani herdsmen are allegedly plotting to
invade the area and displace residents for
cattle-grazing.
News men reports that at the weekend, the
herdsmen at Adani imported about 500
others from Nasarawa state to help launch
the attack on the community.
Meanwhile, stakeholders from the local
government held a meeting where they tried
to find solutions to the increased attacks by
herdsmen on communities.
In the last six months, over 15 people were
kidnapped and several women from the area
were raped.
According to sources, Cornell Onwubuya, the
chairman of the Transition Committee in
Uzo-Uwani local government area, alerted
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the state
commissioner of police on the development.
During the emergency meeting in Enugu,
Onwubuya also alerted the leaders of the
Fulani community in the state and
stakeholders from Uzo-Uwani.
According to him, the meeting was convened
to address the allegation that herdsmen
planned to import about 500 of their
tribesmen to enable them invade some
communities in the area.
Onwubuya noted that local leaders of the
Fulani community also confirmed that there
were attempts to bring in mercenaries for
the attack on the communities. He added
that the Fulani leaders in the state had
earlier complained that some of their people
were killed within the axis of Ukpabi Nimbo
and Abbi communities in the recent past.
