Augustine Chukwudum,the president of Ndigbo Unity Forum,made the submission in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Monday.
The government should be blamed for the inversion of Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani local government area of Enugu state by Fulani herdsmen,he said.
He went further to state that,"the successful attack and killing of about 50 people in the community was as a result of the government inability to provide enough security in the area.
"The Federal government and Enugu state government must bear the burden of the death and pay the due compensation to the families of the deceased.
