332 Fulani Herdsmen Armed With AK47 Rifles In South East — Ohanaeze Youths

The national leadership of Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), has described as ‘fact’ the revelation of 332 settlement of killer Fulani herdsmen in Igbo land by the former Deputy Inspector General of Police, DIG, Ozo Celestine Okoye.

DIG Okoye in a publication on Friday, March 26, 2021 on the New Telegraph newspaper said there are 332 Fulani herdsmen settlers heavily armed with AK47 rifles across the five states of the South East zone waiting to unleash terror on Ndigbo, a statement by Chukwuemeka Chimerue, Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to OYC National President, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka says.

Reacting to the revelation in a chat with newsmen in Umuahia, Comrade Igboayaka noted that it was inline with a recent research made by International Society For Civil Liberties & The Rule Of Law(Intersociety), one of the leading civil society group in Nigeria led by Emeka Umeagbalasi wherein they published that 433 locations in Igbo land are domiciled by these dreaded Fulani herdsmen waiting to attack the entire old Eastern region, the statement added.

Igboayaka noted that the facts unfolded that Buhari and his kinsmen have divided Nigeria, leading the country into anarchy, tribal hate and crisis.

He urged President Muhammadu Buhari against plans to Fulanise the country and ethnic cleansing of other nationalities in Nigeria.

“The 1967-1970 genocide against Ndigbo where all tribes in the West, Middle-West and Hausa tribe fought against Ndigbo would not repeat again. Fulanis should get ready to contend with the forces of all the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria if they go ahead to embark on this impending attack against Ndigbo,” Igboayaka stated.

The youth leader warned the Fulani herdsmen with AK47 assault rifles to immediately vacate from their hidden locations in Igbo land within 48 hours.

He pointed out that President Buhari and the security architecture of the federal government were conspicuously aiding the heinous and unwholesome activities of Fulani herders, reminding them that any act whether in commission or ommission has its dire consequences, adding that, “therefore President Buhari and his security agencies who are aiding and abetting the crimes of criminal Fulani herdsmen should understand that they have done everything necessary to ensure Nigeria’s disintegration.”
