The Ohaneze Youth Council (OYC) has said that they have uncovered plots that fulani invaders' next target is Ebonyi State. They said "These Buhari's brothers are coming from Taraba State to attack Ebonyi. We want the Governor of Ebonyi State and all the security agents in the state to be at alert.”
In furtherance of the alleged invasion plan, Igbo youths held an emergency meeting in Enugu on Thursday, April 28.
At the end of the meeting, a communique released noted that Fulani
herdsmen “are off-shoots of Boko Haram and must not be allowed any
breeding ground in Igbo land. Any herdsman who fails to quit South East
by Monday will have himself to blame.”
The proposed ejection of Fulani herdsmen from Igboland is in response to
last Monday’s killing of over 40 people in Nimbo community, Uzo-Uwani
Local Government Area of Enugu state by Fulani herdsmen.
The communique was signed by the National Vice President of the group,
Mazi Obinna Achuonye and the Chairmen of OYC in seven Igbo- speaking
states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Delta, Imo and Rivers.
“Never again will Igbo youths fold their arms and watch our people being
massacred by blood-sucking terrorists under the guise of herdsmen.
Urgent times need drastic measure. We warn all violent Fulani herdsmen
to vacate our farmland, our backyards, our territories and boundaries on
or before Monday next week.”
“If after Monday and the herdsmen are still around, we will direct Igbo
vigilante groups set up by OYC in all the 95 Local Government Areas in
South East to force them out.”
“Ijaw youths, and Middle Belt progressives are already waiting for the
expiration of the deadline on Monday. Fulani herdsmen have pushed us to
the wall, time to take action is now or never.”
