Few months ago, it was widely reported online and social media that
there was a bloodbath in Nimbo community in Uzo- Uwani Local Government
Area of Enugu State, when about 40 persons were reportedly killed by
some suspected Fulani herdsmen.
The incident took place after stories filtered out that no fewer
than 500 heavily-armed Fulani herdsmen sneaked into the community
preparatory to launch an attack.
About seven villages in Nimbo (Nimbo Ngwoko, Ugwuijoro, Ekwuru,
Ebor, Enugu Nimbo, Umuome and Ugwuachara) were among the areas
attacked.
Ten residential houses and a church, Christ Holy Church
International, aka Odozi Obodo, were also said to have been burnt by the
herdsmen just as vehicles and motorcycles were destroed and domestic
animals killed.
In a photo released on twitter by SaharaReporters, some of the
victims of the massacre have been laid to rest amid tears and sorrow
from families and well wishers.
