Fulani invades Enugu community

Yesterday there were rumours that Fulani herdsmen would attack some communities in Enugu State. Chairman, Transition Committee, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area, Cornell Onwubuya, reportedly alerted Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the state Commissioner of Police, Ekechukwu on the development.
He was said to have further alerted the leaders of the Fulani community in Enugu State, who met with stakeholders from Uzo-Uwani to address the issue.
Speaking at the emergency meeting, Enugu State leader of the Fulani community, Alhaji Haldo Saidu Baso said that he had lived in Enugu State for over 33 years and would not be alive to witness the type of crises that they were talking about.
The Fulani community later resolved to talk to their people in the state not take the laws into their hands.
Baso said: “We will travel to Nasarawa State to talk to the cattle owners and stakeholders to warn the rustlers in Enugu State to stay away from trouble.”
But barely 24 hours later, Fulani have invaded, burning and killing. So far, 20 people have been confirmed dead, with many leaving their homeland for God-knows-where.
