How Nigerian Army Masterminded Eha-Amufu Community Killings In Enugu State, Opened Gates For Herdsmen – IPOB AllegesSaharaReporters had reported how armed killer herdsmen turned the community into killing field, killing the residents in large numbers and forcing the residents to desert the community, while the army and the police continued to accuse the IPOB’s Eastern Security Network of being responsible for the attacks and killings.
Reacting to the incident which has become an issue of public concern across the state and the South East region at large, IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful on Saturday accused the Nigerian Army of collaborating with the killer-herders to commit the heinous act. “From eyewitnesses’ accounts, Nigerian soldiers invaded the community and destroyed the gate leading to the community, and beat up some people. Soon after the Nigeria military destroyed the community's gate, Fulani herdsmen armed to the teeth invaded the community, killing, burning, and looting properties.
It insisted that “The military intentionally broke the community's gate to create access for Fulani herdsmen to freely troop into the community and launch the attacks. The deployment of soldiers to the peaceful community was the handiwork of Major Umar Musa, the GOC 82 Division Enugu.
