Armed Herdsmen Launh Fresh Attacks In Enugu Community, Kill Three Farmers

 

Tension has gripped the Mgbuji community in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, following a violent attack by armed herdsmen on Friday, News360 Nigeria reports.

The assault claimed the lives of three farmers, left several others injured, and caused extensive damage to rice farms awaiting harvest.

Shocking video evidence from the scene showed one victim slaughtered in his rice field, a basket of freshly harvested cassava nearby. The attack is part of a recurring crisis in Eha-Amufu, where between 2017 and 2022, suspected Fulani militias reportedly destroyed over 20 farm settlements and killed at least 123 residents.

Ogenyi Odoh, a community leader, expressed deep concern over the escalating violence. Speaking with SaharaReporters, he decried the killing of the farmers and the destruction of farmlands, emphasizing that attacks on rice farms have been ongoing for two weeks.

Further complicating the crisis, injured victims seeking medical help have been turned away by the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (ESUT Parklane) due to an ongoing workers’ strike.

Odoh also revealed that soldiers previously deployed to strategic locations in Eha-Amufu had been withdrawn without explanation, leaving the community vulnerable to renewed attacks. He has called on both the federal and state governments to urgently address the situation and restore security to the area.

He said, “Today three people who went to their farms were killed in a most savagery brutality. What is their offence? They went to their farms and while they were in their farms Herdsmen entered the farms and start eating it. They were asked to leave and the next thing was to kill them. As you can see in one of the video clips, the man was killed in his rice farm.

“You can also see in the video the large rice farm that Fulani herdsmen maliciously destroyed after four months hard work.

“Is there a conspiracy, otherwise, how come after the Nigerian Army withdrew soldiers deployed to Eha-Amufu prior to the election and attacks and killings resumed?”

He added, “Only about six soldiers are in entire Eha-Amufu with 100s of kilometers border with Benue State. Our vigilantes are working but there is not much they can do. The herders are armed with AK-47 rifles with several loaded magazines.

“The man they (herders) butchered that was brought to Parklane hospital was rejected. As we speak doctors are battling to save him a private hospital where a whooping N3nillion are demanded to even commence treatment. So, you can see the severity.”

Meanwhile, Our correspondent’ efforts to speak with the Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, were unsuccessful as he did not take his calls in his usual tradition.

As of the time of filing this report, he was yet to respond to a text message seeking his comment.

Irene Ikejah, has accused her ex-husband of orchestrating her arrest and detention at the Ndiegoro Police Station in Aba after falsely accusing her of kidnapping her own children.

In an emotional outburst, Ikejah recounted how her former spouse leveled serious allegations against her, claiming she was involved in organ harvesting and rituals involving their children.

The ordeal began when she was arrested in Aba and taken to Zone 9 Police Headquarters in Umuahia, Abia State. After providing her statement and presenting her children—whom her ex-husband accused her of harming—the authorities granted her bail and scheduled a follow-up appointment in two weeks.

However, shortly after her release, another group of officers, allegedly from the Area Command in Aba, re-arrested her outside Zone 9. She was subsequently taken to the Central Police Station (CPS) in Aba, where she was detained further. The delay persisted until a court bailiff from the High Court in Aba served a detention order for both her and her children.

 

According to reports, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of CPS Aba declined to keep the children in custody due to concerns about the environment and allowed their grandmother to take them home.

However, Irene Ikejah was held at Ndiegoro Police Station, where she remains in detention until the next morning.
