Many Feared Dead, Others Injured as Herdsmen Assault Enugu Community

The Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State has once again been targeted in an attack believed to be carried out by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

This attack took place on Sunday evening, resulting in the loss of several lives and leaving many others critically injured. According to sources, the herders launched their assault on mourners in the Ugwuijoro Nimbo community, leaving behind a trail of tears and sorrow.

Among the victims were Okeh Simon Ugwu Oruku, Okeh Chukwuebuka, Julius Ogbonna Odiegwu, and Gabriel Ugwor Ezea. A disturbing video, discovered on Monday morning by OBASANJONEWS24, depicted a deserted community.

The voice in the video lamented that the invaders caught the villagers off guard and fired shots indiscriminately at the mourners.

The compound where the mourners had gathered was strewn with overturned tables and chairs, while lifeless villagers lay in pools of their own blood. It is worth noting that Nimbo had previously experienced an attack in 2016, resulting in numerous deaths and sparking nationwide outrage.

As of now, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe of the Enugu State Command, has yet to respond to an inquiry regarding the latest attack from OBASANJONEWS24.
