Fulani cattle herdsmen butcher two brothers in Imo state

The plight of residents of
Umuekwunne Irete in Imo
State got worse yesterday
Thursday August 8th 2013 as
fulani cattle herdsmen opened
fire on the community, injuring
several young men. Worse off
is Chibuzor Hezekiah Okorie
(pictured above) who was shot
in the stomach and also cut in
the chest and leg with a
machete. His brother was also
attacked.
The Fulani cattle herdsmen
encroach into the farms, using
the crop to feed their cattle.
This has always been the case
in most communities in Imo
State. Almost on a daily basis
cattle storm farm lands and
destroys crops cultivated by
the people. And when some
youths in the community
confronted the cattle
herdsmen around 3pm
yesterday, they almost didn't
live to tell their story.
The Fulanis carry AK47 guns
and machetes and this was
what they sued on the men
yesterday.
The communities said they
have reported the happening
to the government on several
occasions, but nothing has
been done so far. Find another
pic after the cut...*viewer
