The community was attack Monday morning, leading to the reported death of 21 persons.
Ugwuanyi, who could not hold back tears, was in the company of Enugu State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Nwodibo Ekechukwu the GOC 82 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru, as well as the Enugu State Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The Governor, thereafter, declared two days fasting and prayer in the State, asking residents to commit the situation into God’s hand.
“It calls for sober reflection; this is a trying period, not just for this community but for all of us.
“On Sunday, we were in the church for Nigeria Prays, with General Yakubu Gowon; I got a call from the council chairman and immediately, I summoned a security council meeting; prior to that we had met with the Fulani leaders, and it was indeed yesterday that we would have inaugurated a joint committee of the Fulani and the Enugu government.
“Be that as it may, what has happened, has happened; this is not the to blame any body; government will do what it is supposed to do; I understand that economic activities have been shut down here, we will as a government make available the sum of N5m to the leaders of this community and then from there proceed to the hospital, settle all the bills and then later we go to the next line of action” the governor said.

Look at these ignorant governors that cannot not protect his citizens. Instead of resigning out of sheer incompetence from non nigerian nomads killing his people he talks about fasting. Na only you sabi pray? This same religion is fooling our people to stupidity. What a daft populace
ReplyDeleteSee how you craftily added "Non-Nigerian" in there like it is a fact. Please these are Fulani killers. They believe in their Fulani superiority and their origin is here. And they obviously have the backing of our selectively mute FG and nomad president. Stop trying to sow lies.
DeleteSo he would have mobilized his kings men 2 carry out reprisal attack abi.
ReplyDeleteAny prayer made without contribution to make it happen is a fail prayer.
ReplyDeleteIntensify security measure in the area to fish out those stupid guys. Send armies to the area and other security agents.
It is good to be emotional but swoop into action. That is your land and it belong to you. Do all to protect it
BEFORE NKO? TWO DAYS MOURNING NOT FASTING.
