Fulani Herdsmen Terrorism: Enugu  State bans night grazing [Not enough!] Total ban on night and day grazing!!

Following rampant Fulani terrorist in the Enugu State, the timid Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has summoned courage to ban night cattle grazing in the state. He was however, afraid of declaring total shutdown of cattle grazing in the state as his counterpart in Ebonyi state just did.

This is despite Enugu having lost a number of its citizens to the rampaging Fulani terrorists. Grazing and rearing of cattle at night was on Monday banned in Enugu State after a meeting Ugwuanyi and leaders of Fulani/Shuwa Arab herdsmen in the state.

Also banned are the carrying of firearms or any form of ammunition by the herdsmen and movement of cattle from one location to another at night in the state.

Furthermore a shambolic peace committee made up of representatives of the various interest groups from the Fulani\Shuwa Arab Community in the state, government representatives as well as security agencies was set up as a way to stem further terrorists acts by Fulani herdsmen/terrorists.

During the meeting convened by Gov. Ugwuanyi, also attended by leaders of some communities affected by the menace of the herdsmen in the state, it was also decided that compensation will be paid by herdsmen whose cattle destroy farm crops while the communities will pay for any cattle killed by their members.

According to the government sources, the governor  convened the meeting in furtherance of ongoing efforts to find a lasting solution to the lingering clashes between Fulani herdsmen/terrorists and their host communities, especially in the wake of the recent Nimbo killings.

It was also decided that violators of these resolutions will be made to face the full wrath of the law.

Addressing the meeting, which held at the Government House, Enugu, Gov Ugwuanyi sued for peace among all residents of the state even as he regretted the recent attacks by the herdsmen.

Present at the meeting were the secretary of the Fulani Community in the state, Bala Ardo, the leader of the Fulani community, Alhaji Ado Saidu Basu, and the leader of the Shuwa Arab community in the state, Alhaji Ahmed Yahaya, while the traditional ruler of Ibute Nze led leaders of three communities of Akpakwume Nze, Ezi Nze and Ibute Nze communities in Udi council area, where clashes have been reported in the past days.
