Imo State got worse yesterday Thursday August
8th 2013 as fulani cattle herdsmen opened fire on
the community, injuring several young men.
Worse off is Chibuzor Hezekiah Okorie (pictured
above) who was shot in the stomach and also cut
in the chest and leg with a machete. His brother
was also attacked.
The Fulani cattle herdsmen encroach into the
farms, using the crop to feed their cattle. This has
always been the case in most communities in Imo
State. Almost on a daily basis cattle storm farm
lands and destroys crops cultivated by the people.
And when some youths in the community
confronted the cattle herdsmen around 3pm
yesterday, they almost didn't live to tell their
story.
The Fulanis carry AK47 guns and machetes and
this was what they used on the men yesterday.
The communities said they have reported the
happening to the government on several
occasions, but nothing has been done so far.
