fani herdsmen

Former aviation minister, Femi Fani Kayode has claimed that 100 Igbos were slaughtered on Monday, by Fulani herdsmen .

It had been earlier reported that about 20 were killed in Ukpabi Nimbo, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State, after armed cattle herdsmen, reportedly numbering more then a hundred, swooped on the sleepy community in the early hours of Monday.

It was learnt that the herdsmen had previously fallen out with the villagers over their grazing activities in the community.

The villagers alleged that most of the herdsmen that were involved in Monday’s attack were ‘imported’ from Nasarawa State by other Fulani herdsmen who were already operating in Enugu.
