There is confusion in Enugu State following reports that Fulani herdsmen have launched a fresh attack in Umuchigbo, another community in the State.
Umuchigbo is in Enugu East Council Area of the State.
The reported attack is happening while
the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Solomon Arase is at Nimbo
community in Uzo-Uwani council area where a similar attack occurred two
days ago and left scores dead.
“The trouble started this afternoon. The causality figure is not yet known.
“But school children have been asked to go home. It is not yet known if security men have arrived.”
It was further gathered that last week, a Fulani herdsman stabbed an Umuchigbo citizen and they retaliated.
“Today, the Fulanis mobilised to attack a
school. Umuchigbo mobilised and managed to chase them away; all is now
calm. However, there are genuine concerns that they will return anytime
soon,” the source added.
Meanwhile, the police is yet to react to the development.
