Chinwuba Ekwueme, 42, a father of three and a member of the Egede
Neighbourhood Watch was on Friday, November 6, reportedly butchered by
Fulani herdsmen in Egede, Udi Local Govt Area of Enugu State.
The traditional ruler of Egede, Igwe Polycarp Oyigbo, lamented the
recurrence of nomadic attacks against his subjects and wondered why
government had not been able to offer measures towards saving them from
these attacks. The photo is gruesome
"I do not know whether it would have been better to allow them to take
the law into their hands; so government should take appropriate actions
to end the menace," he said.
Lamenting the pain and anguish brought upon the community by the
attackers, President General of the Egede Town Union, Clement Amuji,
said:
"The attack by these herdsmen has become a menace to our people. We
have been complaining to the government; we have written several
letters to Udi Local Government Council, and the District Police Officer
(DPO), 9th-Mile. This has been happening; they have been destroying our
crops and raping our women."
