Igbo youths under the aegis of the Ohaneze Youth Council, OYC, has given Fulani herdsmen till Monday next week to vacate Igbo land or be forced out. The warning followed the massacre of no fewer than 40 people of Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu by Fulani herdsmen last Monday.
The warning was contained in a communique signed and released in Enugu by the National Vice President of the group, Mazi Obinna Achuonye and the Chairmen of OYC in seven Igbo-speaking states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Delta, Imo and Rivers.
It reads, “Herdsmen are off-shoots of Boko Haram and must not be allowed any breeding ground in Igbo land. Any herdsman who fails to quit South East by Monday will have himself to blame.
“Never again will Igbo youths fold their arms and watch our people being massacred by blood-sucking terrorists under the guise of herdsmen. Urgent times need drastic measure. We warn all violent Fulani herdsmen to vacate our farmland, our backyards, our territories and boundaries on or before Monday next week.
“Even though Ohanaeze Ndigbo will meet over the weekend to discuss this menace, Igbo youths will not wait until our people are massacred again before we take action.
“If after Monday and the herdsmen are still around, we will direct Igbo vigilante groups set up by OYC in all the 95 Local Government Areas in South East to force them out”.
OYC also alleged that its intelligent unit had uncovered plans by the Fulani herdsmen to attack Ebonyi State.
“We have uncovered plots that their next target is Ebonyi State. They are coming from Taraba State to attack Ebonyi. We want the Governor of Ebonyi State and all the security agents in the state to be at alert”, the group said.
OYC further disclosed that they are collaborating with Ijaw youths and Middle Belt youths on how to defend their people since the current administration had failed to do so.
“Ijaw youths, and Middle Belt progressives are already waiting for the expiration of the deadline on Monday. Fulani herdsmen have pushed us to the wall, time to take action is now or never”, it warned
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Fulanis NEVER attack unless they have been cheated badly and denied justice. I know how irrational Igbos can be. I dont justify the Fulani violence but I understand their plight. (By the way, They attacked my village too). The Fulanis have endured too much injustice already. The nomadic herds men are generally uneducated, so they dont have a voice to plead their case. Besides, Ndigbo, Hausa or Yoruba have NO land or boundary here; all the land belongs to the federal republic of Nigeria. If the federal government decides to cut out pasture land for the Fulanis in 'Igbo land', the Igbos have no right to stop that. Biafra, Arewa or Ouduwa are not yet a reality. The Fulanis so far are by far the most peace-loving group I know of in Nigeria.
Na me dey reign! !! !!!

Well - all these sort of distractions are consistently hindering the growth of Nigeria as a country, it is very sad and quite unfortunate to hear, when other countries are dealing with futuristic problems - we are here dealing with gutter and street problems! God help us all!
I specialize in investigative reportage across several subject matter and sectors but mainly focus on metro events and investigation. Do leave your thoughts and opinion on my reports to let me know what you think about them. Thank you

All these are the fault and indifferent by the govt to people,that means negligence by the govt,under normal circumstances by now the herdsmen should be cartering for their livestocks in a managed place agree by the LAW ,not to this level till now allowing them hovering all over the country with their cows and destroying other people means of living or properties,here in Finland,i ve visited were they are rearing livestocks including cow,it is well organised and extinguish from the urbanisation or ruralisation setting,so as not to cause any damages to the people,but in my country it cant be so,they will only be punctual to the people just during the voting period,i am still saying it we dont ve government.
