The bloodbath in Ukpabi Nimbo community, Uzo-Uwani council of Enugu state on Monday, April 25, has left many villagers living in pain and despair.
In a recent visit to the community, NAIJ.com’s reporter and photo journalist caught up with some of the locals, who narrated the bitter story of watching the herdsmen slaughter their loved ones right there on their land. It was learnt that the rampaging Fulani herdsmen attacked the area killing scores of villagers, mostly farmers, and destroyed property worth millions of naira. Sources in the area had put the casualty figure at 40, even as the police was yet to give a definite figure.
However, Vanguard had reported that six more bodies were recovered from the scene of the ugly incident on Wednesday, April 27, which took the death toll to 46. The Fulani herdsmen attack comes on the heels of reports of a non-stop friction between the farmers and herdsmen over the cattle rustling and trespassing into farmlands.
Kuryas NAIJ.com has gathered that many natives now live in perpetual fear and pain following the attack of the Fulani herdsmen, despite heavy security presence in the area. This is quite evident in the pictures below:
