Simeon Chidubem, who disclosed this ugly
incident in his palace at Umumbo, maintained
that there is no day a case of attack, molestation
of underage children, men, women and sexual
abuse by the Fulani herdsmen is not reported in
his kingdom.
He noted that the herdsmen who attacked the
young man at his farm were roaming round
farms without their cattle searching for the
villagers to attack, hack or kill with their so
phisticated guns and other dangerous weapons.

person who was also allegedly killed by the Fula
ni herdsmen while a lot of others were reported
missing.

State Commissioner of Police in Awka, bringing
to his notice the wanton attack, hacking and kill
ing of people of the community as well as the
deliberate destruction of their farm produce such
as rice, cassava, yam, okuru and maize by the
Fulani herdsmen in the area.

community would always toe the path of peace,
appealed to the police and other security
agencies in the state to urgently come to the aid
of the community and rescue them from the
menace of the Fulani herdsmen. He commended
the effort of the police and the Department of
