Evangelist Eliot Ukoh's Igbo Youths Movement, IYM, has
lamented that Fulani herdsmen have killed 710
other Nigerians excluding the 48 Agatu people in
Benue State in the last 10 months without the
Federal Government addressing the issue.
IYM made this known while reacting to the
Monday’s killing of about 40 indigenes of Nimbo
in Uzo Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu
State by Fulani herdsmen last night.
The statement signed by the Founder of the IYM
and Leader of the South East Democratic
Coalition, Evangelist Elliot Uko, entitled, 'Ten
Months of
Carnage,' read: “Between June 2015
and April 2016, Fulani herdsmen have killed over
710 Nigerians (excluding Agatu incident) in 48
recorded incidents, the highest in recent years.
“For the first time, the nation’s Department of
State Services, DSS, only interest in these
avoidable blood baths, seems only to accuse one
organization of killing five Fulani. That
accusation is yet to be substantiated with
photographs or at least a DSS invitation to media
people to the graves in order to corroborate their
allegations.
“Monday morning, seven communities in Uzo-
Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State
received it hot, as usual from the rampaging
Fulani warriors. Two churches, over 100 houses,
dozens dead and hundreds injured with many still
missing.
“Nigerians do not expect any positive reaction
from the Federal Government and the DSS, for
obvious reasons.This bloodletting which began
since the new government took over power is
interestingly redefining how much faith, large
sections of Nigeria should have in the ability or
willingness of the Federal Government to protect
them from this Fulani warriors, who clearly act
as if they know that the Federal Government
cannot (or is it, will not) save the helpless
victims from their attacks.
“But above all, the ongoing war by the Fulani
herdsmen, have only confirmed Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu, leader of the Independent People of Biafra,
IPOB, a prophet and visionary, who saw
tomorrow. Mazi Kanu correctly predicted over
the radio, what the Fulani would do to the
Middle Belt, South East, South- South and the
South West.
“The serial slaughter by the Fulani, the
intimidation by the security agents and the
disturbing silence of the President, who
incidentally is also Fulani and life Patron of
Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, has put
Mazi Kanu in the league of avatars, who
correctly predicted events before they happened.
“This development has also greatly increased
Kanu’s popularity, especially among the
oppressed, suppressed and consistently attacked
populations, who now see him as a hero and a
legend. This has resulted in a huge sympathy
towards the gospel of IPOB and its leader."
