The news coming from Nike and Agbogazi communities both in Enugu East Local government Area of Enugwu state is both Horrific and terrifying. From the month of March 2024 till date these communities have suffered multiple attacks and lost hundreds of people. Properties worth billions have been either destroyed or looted by these bandits. Many people have been displayed from their homes.
On a daily basis, these terrorists in the disguise of herdsmen have been in their real businesses of kidnapping, maiming and killing the people and farmers unchallenged by Nigeria Security.
This hellish situation has turned the villagers into great agony, hopelessness and dejection.
More worrisome is the quick release of the arrested seven members of the criminal Fulani herdsmen by the Nigeria Police. These are terrorists who were caught with poisonous machetes and AK-47 and handed over to the Nigeria Security Operatives. They were released from the Police custody without prosecution.
The invitation of the Nigeria Police to salvage the situation only worsened it and escalated the frequency of the attacks. The terrorists became more emboldened and unleashed mayhem on daily basis. The hapless members asked the Police to leave their land and they left the defenceless people with no option but face their killers squarely.
Since the departure of the Nigerian police, the terrorists have not stopped the daily attacks with daggers, machetes, guns and other weapons. Today's attack being 9th April 2024, has left many villagers fleeing from their ancestral homes to safety in the neighbouring communities. Those who do not have where to run to have stayed back to face their deaths.
The communities are so porous now that nobody dares to go farming or stay out after 6.00pm, for fear of being attacked and killed.
Despite the cries of the people to the Governor of Enugu, Mr Mba for a genuine security intervention, there is still no response till date.
Therefore, we are hereby calling on the international communities, and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) to urgently come to our rescue before we are completely wiped out by these Terrorists whom we suspect are government sponsored.
