Meanwhile, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Thursday October 26, expressed outrage over what it called near total breakdown of security along the Enugu-Ugwuogo Nike-Nsukka.
A statement by the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, said it was disheartening that despite the heavy presence of security operatives on the road, including the military and the police, the hoodlums were carrying out their rampaging activities unchallenged.
Okwu said the development was unacceptable, urging the security agencies to look inwards.
"We are saddened that the all-important Enugu-Ugwuogo Nike-Nsukka Road has now become impassable because of the activities of rampaging Fulani herdsmen," he said.
