\n
Killer herdsmen, Monday, invaded Agu-Amede community in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State and unleashed an attack which left at\u00a0 least ten persons dead and many others wounded.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThe killer herders were also said to have ransacked the community and set\u00a0 houses on fire.<\/p>\n

This came as men of the South East Security outfit code-named Ebubeagu were last Saturday alleged to have shot two youths, Samuel Okam and Micheal Oji at Ekoli Edda of Afikpo South Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nPointblanknews.com gathered that two of the victims who were\u00a0 farmers were killed on Saturday, while eight were killed Monday.<\/div>\n
\nIt was further learned that\u00a0 about 25 members in the community sustained various degrees of injuries.<\/p>\n

Among those killed, according to sources from the community, were two daughters of a church cleric in the community.<\/p>\n

A community leader, Augustine Odoh, who confirmed the attack, explained that it happened on Monday around 1pm.<\/p>\n

Odo said that all the members of their community living outside the community had been summoned home, adding that by Tuesday, (yesterday), the community would convey the corpses of the deceased to the Enugu State Government House to meet Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, alleging that the government has abandoned them.<\/p>\n

According to Odo, \u201cThey (herdsmen) invaded first on Saturday, killed two people. Today (monday), they invaded the community again and killed eight people including our women and children. So many other people about, 25 of them were equally wounded. They are in the hospital; we don\u2019t know how many people are going to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that residents were\u00a0 now deserting their houses over the renewed attacks.<\/p>\n

Lamenting the incessant attack by herdsmen, Odo claimed that in all the attacks, no government\u00a0 security came to their aid.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur people cannot confront them with bare hands. They came in their numbers with AK-47 rifles and other dangerous weapons, shooting and destroying houses for hours unchallenged.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government will only deploy soldiers in communities in other South East states to hound and kill members of pro-Biafra groups especially the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, but same soldiers cannot be deployed to\u00a0 our communities to stop herdsmen and terrorists attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is the hypocrisy in this government. In my community, people\u00a0 see soldiers and other security agents as sympathisers and collaborators of the\u00a0 terrorists masquerading as herdsmen who are trying conquer our lands\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another member of the community, who pleaded for anonymity, however, said that soldiers and other security operatives have moved into the bushes from where the marauders gained\u00a0 access into the community to comb for them.<\/p>\n

Efforts to get reaction of the Enugu State Police Command were not successful as the spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, did not take his calls.<\/p>\n

Ugwuanyi releases\u00a0N10m for Eha-Amufu\u00a0victims in IDPs camp<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0 Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has released\u00a0 the sum of N10 million for the immediate needs of the affected victims of the attack in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp.<\/p>\n

Speaking after a closed-door meeting with Gov. Ugwuanyi at the Government House, Enugu, Bishop Olinya, the Anglican Bishop of Eha Amufu Diocese,\u00a0 said that he was impressed with \u201cthe prompt interventions of Enugu State Government on the crisis in the place,\u201d adding: \u201cI want to thank especifically, the Governor of Enugu State for bringing out ten million naira for the people affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy this evening for the prompt intervention of Enugu State Government in the crisis in our place, Eha Amufu in Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Anglican Bishop disclosed that the governor \u201chas given us ten million naira to go and see the people and to meet their immediate needs and I am very sure that this will make them have a sense of belonging, make them feel that the state has heard their cry and has really come to help them.”<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
