There is confusion in Enugu State
following reports that Fulani
herdsmen have launched a fresh
attack in Umuchigbo, another
community in the State.

Umuchigbo is in Enugu East
Council Area of the State.

The reported attack is happening
while the Inspector General of
Police, IGP, Solomon Arase is at
Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani
council area where a similar attack
occurred two days ago and left
scores dead.

A source told DAILY POST that “Yes,
there is trouble between the Fulani
herdsmen and indigenes of
Umuchigbo.

“The trouble started this afternoon.
The causality figure is not yet
known.

“But school children have been
asked to go home. It is not yet
known if security men have
arrived.”

However, another source told our
correspondent that it was a scare,
which later spread fast and schools
started closing.

“The Fulani people had some
disagreement with somebody in
that community few weeks ago; so,
rumour just came today that they
have come to attack the residents.

Immediately, people started
running; there was actually no
attack; it was a scare,” he disclosed.
Meanwhile, the police is yet to
react to the development.
