The people of the Popular Nimbo community residents in the Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State have taken to Streets, protesting plans by the State Government to establish Cattle Ranch in Enugu.
Recall that majority of the States in the South East kicked against such moves during the Buhari led administration
The people who displayed various placards with varying inscriptions were of the opinion that establishing Cattle Ranch in the Community is an indirect way of calling for war between the Fulani herders and the community.
Among the protesters were people widowed or orphaned by the killing of 40 residents of the community by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on April 26, 2016, during the government of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
One of the placards reads, ‘Nimbo Community Says No To Cattle Ranch In Their Land QED.’
A resident of the community that protests in Nimbo followed an alleged plan by the state government to establish a ranch where the town shares a border with Kogi State.
“The plan followed a government inspection team to the area, nearly eight years after the April 25, 2016 Nimbo Massacre, during which armed Fulani herders murdered 40 indigenes of our town.
