Breaking News: Enugu Schools on LOCKDOWn as fears of fresh Fulani Terrorists attacks spread 

Enug schools are on lockdown following fresh Fulani attack of another Enugu community.  This is spreading fear across the states and has forced schools to close down. Confusion and trepidation spread in Enugu State following reports that Fulani terrorists have launched a fresh attack in Umuchigbo, Abakpa another community in Enugu East Council Area of the state.

The reported attack is happening while the Nigerian 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.

“Yes, there is trouble between the Fulani herdsmen and indigenes of Umuchigbo,” an unnamed source told Daily Post.

“The trouble started this afternoon. The casualty 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 who probably wanted to douse the tension, told Daily Post 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.
