Say a prayer for the people of Nimbo

Sadly, about 40 persons have been reportedly killed by some Fulani herdsmen at Nimbo in Uzo-uwani Local Govt Area of Enugu State. There has been lots of speculation about the incident, no fewer than 500 herdsmen sneaked into the community prepared to launch an attack.

About seven villages in Nimbo, 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, we're also said to have been buurnt by the herdsmen just as vehicles and motorcycles were destroyed and domestic animals killed.

Villagers and other residents of the area were fleeing the town as at yesterday.

This is a national issue and we hope the government and those in authority would look into this and put a stop to this issue, because we have heard about these killings especially in Enugu before, villagers and residents of the area can attest to this fact. 

But one question is, what must have prompted this attack that claimed these number of lives???

May God help the people of Nimbo and other affected villages and may the souls of those killed in this attack rest in peace.

Say a prayer for the people of Nimbo.
