Angered by Monday night's attacks by armed Fulani herdsmen on some communities in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State in which several dozens of people were killed, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB has threatened to apply force in the defence of “our people from these sacred cow Fulani herdsmen.”
Having put the casualty figures from the herdsmen attacks at 130 dead, MASSOB's National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor said in a statement that;
“We condemn the attack on our people by Fulani herdsmen at Uzo-uwani L.G.A Enugu State. We wish to remind Ndigbo that this killing and destruction of property of our people by Fulani herdsmen is getting out of hands. The fact that MASSOB believes in non- violence does not mean that we cannot defend ourselves. There is a limit to human endurance.”
“MASSOB is worried that Fulani herdsmen have become very daring in their attacks since President Buhari came to power. We are not saying Buhari is their sponsor, but his silence over the attacks is suspect. MASSOB is giving the government 30 days to stop the attacks or face our wrath."
