Chinwuba Ekwueme, 42, a father of three and a member of the
Egede Neighbourhood Watch was on Friday, November 6, reportedly butchered by
Fulani herdsmen in Egede, Udi Local Govt Area of Enugu State. The traditional
ruler of Egede, Igwe Polycarp Oyigbo, lamented the recurrence of nomadic
attacks against his subjects and wondered why government had not been able to
offer measures towards saving them from these attacks. The photo is gruesome
"I do not know whether it would have been better to
allow them to take the law into their hands; so government should take
appropriate actions to end the menace," he said. Lamenting the pain and
anguish brought upon the community by the attackers, President General of the
Egede Town Union, Clement Amuji, said: "The attack by these herdsmen has
become a menace to our people. We have been complaining to the government; we
have written several letters to Udi Local Government Council, and the District
Police Officer (DPO), 9th-Mile. This has been happening; they have been destroying
our crops and raping our women."
