ALHAJA ESCAPED DEATH NEAR BODIJA MARKET IBADAN.

Tragedy averted as car runs into building in Ibadan.

A woman and a passenger in her Toyota Camry car would have died on Wednesday as she smashed her car against the wall of a building in Ibadan while trying to avoid crushing a motorcyclist that hit her car.

The woman, simply identified as Alhaja, who had just left her home, which was about 500 meters from the scene, negotiated a bend to connect the main road leading to Bodija Market and the University of Ibadan, when the incident happened.

Having broken through the fence of the house, the car fell on its hood, although the driver and a young passenger in it were not injured. The car suffered extensive damage due to broken blocks of the fence that fell on its wind shield.

Narrating their ordeal, the passenger in the car narrated that: “they just left home and as Alhaja was joining the main road, the okada (commercial motorcycle) rider hit their car with a bang. He fell in front of the car and in a bid not to run the car over him and possibly kill him, Alhaja maneuvered the car away from the man and in the process, plunged into the house.

“I was shocked because we must have slide down seven feet with broken blocks smashing the windows and the windshield. We were rescued by passersby but before we climb out, the okada rider had escaped. He must have realised that he was guilty before taking the decision to run away,” she added.

One of the occupants of the house said the owner of the car was a neighbor and that when a policeman approached the scene, he told him that it was a matter that would be amicably settled since there was no one injured in the house.

NIGERIANS ARE NOT SMILLING CHECK OUT NEW COAT OF ARM.

Nigerians have changed their coat of arm to this present condition.

I WILL DECLARE WAR AGAINST FULANI HERDSMEN -ARCH BISHOP CHUKWUMA.

ARCH-BISHOP of Enugu Anglican Ecclesiastical Province, Right Reverend (Dr) Emmanuel Chukwuma, has condemned, in its entirety, the invasion of Fulani herdsmen on Ukpabi-Nimbo community, in Enugu State, warning that churches in Igboland are set to mobilise members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Movement for Actualissation for Sovereign State of Biara (MASSOB) and other Biafra agitators against the Fulani herdsmen in Igboland.
Addressing a press conference in Enugu, on Tuesday, Bishop Chukwuma said another civil war might break out due to activities of the Fulani herdsmen, stressing that Ndigbo would no longer condone the blood-thirsty Fulani herdsmen who, he noted, had continued to harass, maim, kill, rape women and destroy farmland in communities in Igboland without reprisal.
Archbishop Chukwuma, who is also the chairman of the South-East Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), wondered why Federal Government and South-East governors had remained silence in the face of provocation, adding that it was high time the Igbo governors rose to the security challenge.
“Why has there been no arrest up till now? We call on the Federal Government to declare state of emergency in Igboland over the Fulani herdsmen threat to security in the zone or else we will declare war against the Fulani herdsmen.
“...We will mobilise IPOB, MASSOB and other Biafra agitators against the Fulani herdsmen in the zone. I feel bitter, I feel aggrieved. I feel sad that government at the centre and our governors cannot protect us. Failure to curb the activities of Fulani herdsmen will make us to ban the Fulani herdsmen from rearing their cattle in the zone.
“Any attempt to harass any Igbo youth, or any community in Igboland will not be taken lightly. We will not tolerate it in Igboland.
“We are declaring war against the Fulani herdsmen. We are calling on Northern elders to caution their people (Fulani herdsmen). Government should speak out against this Fulani menace,” the cleric added.
He said the failure of the South-East governors to rise to the challenge, the zone would pass a vote of no confidence in them.
“Where did the Fulani herdsmen get the AK-47 rifles? We will bring our own ‘Ogbunigwe’ out to defend our rights. We will match force with force.
“Another civil war is looming because of the notorious activities of Fulani herdsmen. Ndigbo cannot keep quiet any longer. That we were defeated in the last civil war does not meant we will remain slaves forever even in our land. We will defend our land with our blood and anything including ‘Ogbunigwe’ the mass destruction weapon,” he said.

HOW NIGERIA POLICE HELPED FULANI HERDSMEN TO CARRY OUT THEIR MASSACRE IN ENUGU.

ATTENTIONS!!! My greatest pain and agony is that I got the hint of this planned attack against my kinsmen on Friday last week by 12noon and I called some stakeholders in the state and adequately informed them.
The fulanis on Friday afternoon were boasting in Nasarawa state when they were about leaving for Enugu state, how they will deal with us, not knowing that the young man they were discussing this at the front of his shop, where they parked is Nsukka man. He asked them where in Enugu state and they mentioned Uzo-Uwani. The Nsukka man who is luckly be my friend called me immediately and alerted me what is on board.
I made calls across the board immediately and the governor of Enugu dispatched security men immediately. A combined team of the military and police mounted road block at Obolo for thorough stop and search. Some were dispatched to my town. Early morning of Monday, that's yesterday by 0400am, the DPO in my local government recalled the mopols and not up to thirty minutes later, these animals attacked my kinsmen from the bush. They entered from Kogi State through the bush.

MY WORRIES:
1. I told them that these people are above 200 in numbers
2. Why not dispatch enough security in anticipation of countering their numbers
3. Why should the DPO recall his men at the location of this incident without first making arrangements for replacement.
Why should the attack occur barely few minutes the mopols left.
4. How am I sure that many of the fulanis and their metcinaries who are from Niger Republic and Mali are not still in the bush possibly waiting for my people to start coming out probably going to farm, only for them to launch another attack.
Why can't the security on ground now do serious security combing inside the bush to assure us of safety like.
5. Won't the Federal government led by Buhari be sued to Court for genocide and planned ochestrated plan of a secret agenda, aiding and abaiting, complacency and conspiracy? Jointly sued in the suit, are the Enugu state governor and the IG of police for their negligence in their primary functions of safeguarding life and property of the citizens especially when they have gotten hint of an attack; and the fulanis in our area represented by their seriki for gruesome murder and wanton killing of innocent citizens.
6. Now, my people could not go to their farms nor fetch water in their own land for fear of being killed.
7. I will like this information to go round the globe. My people deserve justice. Their fundermental human rights have been greatly abused. We are looking helpless. We need assistance from the international community hence the government are not really doing much to salvage the situation.

B.R.E.A.K.I.N.G .N.E.W.S ENUGU UNDER ANOTHER FRESH ATTACK BY FULANI HERDSMEN.

This is breaking news reaching us from biafraland......... Enugu is under attack again. This is happening now. Umuchigbo in Abakpa Enugu state is under attack and they are fighting with Fulani herdsmen who are all armed with Ak47 with many other weapons. This is another fresh attack after they attacked Uzouwani Nsukka on Monday.

OPEN LETTER TO BIAFRANS FOR WHAT IS TO COME BY DADI MONSO

I am still asking this question, why did the president refuse to pick the call of the Enugu state Governor Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, even when he told his aids why he was calling him? And the governor also called the GOC of 82 Division and the police Commissioner of Enugu state and they refused to respond and protect the people of Uzo Uwani, they said that were waiting to get clearance from the president first. But they did not wait to get clearance from the President in sending their troops to protect the Fulani killers when the angry youths begins to regroup?
I seriously believe that any Igbo man or woman who tasted his or her mothers breast milk must begin to think because, my brothers and sisters, the genocide of 1966 and pogroms that eventually culminated into the civil war in 1967 is once again being rehearsed. These Fulanis are not herdsmen they are Jihadists, sent by their people to conquer and Islamise Igbo land and Nigerian, so I want to believe that by now all the so called Igbo politicians, including Rev. Mbaka (with all due respect) are planning to join the IPOB, MASSOB, or form their own group before we descend on them. But first we have to organize a secret vigilante to hunt them down in all parts of Igbo land. That's my take on this. By Dadi Monso.

BOKO HARAM IN DISGUISE FULANI HERDSMEM GENOCIDE AGAINST BIAFRANS.

Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase
No less than 40 indigenes lay dead by the time
the echoes from the booming weapons of
Monday’s early morning attack by the dreaded
Fulani herdsmen on Ukpabi Nimo, a sleepy
community in Uzouwani council of Enugu
State.
It was an early morning invasion that caught
them unawares. As the guns boomed and
sounds of grenades rained the air, many who
did not understand what was amiss ran to
different directions apparently for safety.
However, while they ran, many were caught
in the crossfire. Some gave up the ghost before
help could come, many others sustained
injuries and were rushed to hospitals in
Nsukka.
The Bishop Shenahan hospital Nsukka, which
became a mecca of sort could no longer
receive bodies -both living and dead. Thus
many were referred to others hospital.
Monday morning's attack on the sleepy was
described as the heaviest to be launched by
suspected Fulani herdsmen in the area in
recent times.
Whirlwindnews.com gathered that suspected
gunmen numbering over 200 and wielding
AK47, grenades and other dangerous weapons
had stormed the community shooting and
killing anybody in sight.
As they moved, they attacked houses, shops
and any property in sight while the villagers
who are mostly farmers took to their heels.
In an ensuing melee, several residents were
said to have been hit by bullets while an
unascertained number received injuries.
Sources from the community put the number
of deaths at over 48. They said that over 30
persons had been killed and several injuries
sustained before rescue from the police and
soldiers could come.
However, Police Public Relations Officer,
Enugu State Police Command, Mr. Ebere
Amaraizu, who confirmed that the
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Nwodibo
Ekechukwu, led other officers and men to the
area, added that the total number of casualties
could not be ascertained as of the time of
filing this report. He added that the situation
in the community had been brought under
control.
We moved in to ensure that the situation did
not degenerate beyond control and right now
everything is under control.
“The Commissioner of Police is there with
other officers and men and the area is being
secured. We can’t give the total number of
casualties yet, it is when the operation is
concluded that we will collate figures and give
a definite number,” Amaraizu said.
But sources at the Bishop Shanahan Hospital,
Nsukka said that the corpses of over 20
persons who died in the attack had been
recovered, adding that the corpses had been
deposited at the morgue.
The cause of the latest attack may not be
unconnected with an alleged missing of cows
belonging to herdsmen, which they were said
to have severally complained about.
It was learnt that the situation further
degenerated after some herdsmen who operate
in Ukpabi Nimbo and other communities in the
Uzo-Uwani area claimed that more cows were
missing by the day.
The villagers alleged that most of the
herdsmen that were involved in
Monday’s attack were ‘imported’ from
Nasarawa State by other Fulani herdsmen who
were already operating in Enugu.
It was gathered that, before the herdsmen
struck on Monday, there was tension in
Ukpabi Nimo and other communities in the
Uzo-Uwani area over widespread rumour that
about 500 herdsmen were mobilising to attack
them.
It was learnt that the villagers, in anticipation
of an imminent attack by herdsmen, had
alerted the Enugu State Government, and the
leadership of the Enugu State Police Command.
According to sources, the Chairman, Transition
Committee, Uzo-Uwani Local Government
Area, Cornell Onwubuya, who was said to
have informed the state governor, Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi, and the police commissioner,
Nwodibo Ekechukwu, of the fears nursed by
villagers, also met the leadership of the Hausa-
Fulani community in the area over the matter.
Interestingly, the rumoured planned attack by
500 herdsmen was the subject of an
emergency stakeholders meeting in the Uzo-
Uwani area council during the weekend, hours
before the herdsmen struck.
The meeting, reportedly, also deliberated on
incessant herdsmen-related problems in the
area, including several cases of murder,
kidnappings and rape recorded in the recent
past.
At the meeting, Onwubuya, reportedly
disclosed that some leaders of the Hausa-
Fulani community had confirmed the
rumoured plan by the herdsmen to launch an
attack in the area.
When contacted yesterday, Onwubuya
lamented that despite the efforts he made to
stop the attack the suspected herdsmen still
went ahead to unleash mayhem on the
community.
The attack is the third in the state and the
second council in the last three months. Abi
community in the same Uzouwani council area
of the state was on Tuesday, February 9th,
2016, attacked by herdsmen
who invaded the community at
about 4.00pm from the neighbouring
community of Kogi state and killed and
destroyed property and farmlands, valued at
several millions.
It was learnt that the attack carried out by
over 20 armed to the teeth persons, led to the
death of four persons. The alleged herdsmen
were said to be retaliating the death of one of
their members said to have been caused
during a clash in the farm.
On March 17, suspected herdsmen had clashed
with local farmers of Ugwuleshi community in
Awgu local government council of the state.
The incident led to the arrest of 76 local
farmers of the community by soldiers who
invaded the community in two trucks following
reports that the natives destroyed houses and
attacked the herdsmen with dangerous
weapons.
Those who were arrested regained their
freedom after spending three weeks in various
prisons in Umuahia, following the intervention
of the governors of Abia and Enugu states that
led to their being granted bail.
They would return to the Umuahia High Court
on April 29, for the continuation of their
matter.
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi had claimed he
met recently with the leadership of the Fulani
herdsmen in the state where an agreement
was reached on how they could live in peace
with their host communities.
The governor had told wailing natives at
Ugwuleshi during his visit: “This is a
temptation but since we have a living God, I
believe we will solve this. It is a security
matter. It has happened in Uzouwani, it has
happened in Nsukka and we resolved all of it,
so this one will also be resolved”.
