Fulani herdsmen:Enugu indigenes in UK condemn Nimbo killings

Enugu State indigenes in United Kingdom,
under the aegis of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
Support
Group (GUISG), have totally condemned
recent killings in Nimbo.
The group also urged President Muhammadu
Buhari
to take proactive steps to stem the menace of
rampaging Fulani herdsmen in the state and
other parts of the country.
The message was contained in a
communique issued by the GUISG after its
emergency meeting in the United Kingdom,
signed by the co-ordinator, Sir Anterus
Chikaobi Ezeh .
It commended the efforts of Governor
Ugwuanyi for “the realistic manner with which
he managed the crisis and the proactive
measures he has put in place to forestall the
tendencies of
criminals/terrorists operating under the
umbrella of Fulani herdsmen in Enugu State
and other parts of the country.”
The group warned that failure to stem the
senseless killings by the Fulani herdsmen “will
leave people with no other option than to
invoke the doctrine of necessity in form of
self-defence. We, Enugu
State indigenes, are peace loving and
accommodating, but this must not be
misconstrued to mean weakness.
“We commend His Excellency, Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi’s response to the Nimbo
Killings, particularly, the manner he
realistically managed the crisis well and for
taking proactive steps to forestall future
occurrence,” the communiqué read.
“We thank all Nigerians from different
political, religious and ethnic background that
clearly condemned this evil act in Enugu State
and pray that voice of reason will prevail
against the urge for  violence in Nigeria.
“Consequently, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
Support Group UK has mandated its
crisis management team led by the Duke
Chidi Nwafor to immediately get in touch with
SPA on Diaspora in the person of Mrs
Olangwa, to deliver relief materials to victims
of the Nimbo killings. The team has also been
mandated to appraise the situation on ground
and report back for further action,” Eze said.
