Ebere-Amaraizu

The Enugu state police command says herdsmen are not responsible for the killing of dozens of people in the state. A statement by Ebere Amaraizu, police public relations officer for the state, blamed the attack on hoodlums.

“The attention of Enugu State Police Command has been drawn to various publications in some sections of the media regarding the incident at Nimbo Community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State and hereby present the facts as follows for the guidance of members of the public and to avoid being misinformed,” the statement read.

“On the 25th of April 2016, at about 0630 hours (6.30am), some hoodlums invaded the fringes of Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State, killing six persons and injuring 11, and one person subsequently died.

“That the police and army team in the area, noticing what was going on, responded whereby the hoodlums fled after also burning the house of Rev. Pastor Samuel Chukwuemeka, two vehicles and one other vehicle damaged.

“It has become necessary to give information/update of earlier information by the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command and state the actual figures as so many figures are bandied about by various sections of the media.”

He however assured the public that the perpetrators would not escape punishment.

  5. @ Dave, do you understand the headline as stated at? He never said they were killed my Fulani Herdsman or Fulani hoodlums, he said and I quote ” The Enugu killings Were Carried Out By Hoodlums And Not By Fulani Herdsmen And Only 6 Person Where Killed” The question have been asking lots of my igbo brothers is that, how could group of Fulani Herdsmen come to Enugu of all places in the East and killed 100’s without no fighting back. Please the story of herdsmen killing 100’s in Enugu is good to be truth. This is all politics.

    The Nigerian police are the worst criminals in the world, they can tell you that red is blue in your very before and force you to believe it. #Criminals_in_uniform_has_no_repentance.

  30. Patience Opara

  31. Sayid Olamilekan Bakarey

  32. Blessing Oluchi

    That is why I hate Nigerian police, they are not here to save lives instead, the are full of mago mago, lies and intimidating the innocent once. Police go and do your job in Enugu state.

  33. Jindu Anthony E'dilichukwu

    Na boko haram go destroy ur entire generation and another IGP shal claim dat it was armed robber attack dat did it. (Evil IGP)

  34. Testimony Ebuka Danquah

    so even 6 people are only, maybe only 6 members of his family should be killed foolish nigerian police.

  35. Agbossaga Alida Marc

    But the dead people in that picture are more than 6. What are we talking about here? Even the blinds can clearly see it…

  36. TrenDy Myky Ameh

    And you call 6 soul. Only huh? One thing about this our country leader they don’t value human life at all#

  37. Vashanta Samuel

    How much did fulani herdsmen contributed into your account for you to lie against your own people? If your family members were among the dead bodies will you have come out to say this? You’re worst than the demon himself I must tell you this. Vanguard news confirm the killing, people in the community confirm it too only for you to come out with your useless smelling mouth to say rubbish about your own brothers in the land. May EBOLA catch that your useless mouth, am the FEARLESS the VOICE of the VOICELESS.

  38. Lazy Hausa Yoruba

    What the police will do will produce some people And say they were do ones that committed the massacre in enugu, expect such story by next week

  39. Dat is a lie,i was told that the president hs gone to enugu to meet the govnr.mayb he told the police to lie.

  40. If only six Fulani’s can kill dis amount of peoples that means only one will kill your generation, stupid police

  41. Oguleru Corlet Adanma

    May thunder fire his mouth,may he and his family never know peace for saying only six, so he wanted more than that,but the truth is that there were killing by the fulani headsmen period

  42. Emenine Collins

    Fredrick Ibuchukwu we know that anti-christ will come and prayers can’t stop it because it has been written, what we need to do is to fight physically before we die.

  43. Emenine Collins

    To those of us who says that it was Igbos that killed these people, I want to ask if they didn’t watch the video posted here yesterday where a fulani man was boasting on his bike with ak-47 machines and chain bullets? Igbos should be wise because these people are out for game, let’s not let ourselves to be fooled, the government is trying to confuse we the Igbos, they are doing so because they want to keep us together with the beasts so that the beasts can easily wipe us out, I want to ask was it the yorubas that attacked the yorubas and burnt their houses last time? ”NO” is the answer, now why are some of us believing the lies from the government? They frame up to confuse us and make us calm and wondering, I can’t be fooled by the Nigerian government and force men because I have known them with their evil ways for a very long time now, they can deceive a stranger not a son of the soil like my kind.

  44. Christabel Archibong

    God will judge you, continue supporting Mr commissioner. Soon it will get to your family, evil men

  45. Stupid news and you call six people only.how many do you expect to die. Six life’s u call only.they should check if boko haram is in Enugu

  46. Decency Chinonso

    Hey lies,what did i hear,6 persons died?,pls u pple should not kill us with hidding of the truth

  47. Abraham T Larry

    Matthew 5:22
    But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell

  50. Oluwabukola Adeyemi

    Who among advocates of “send your youth out ” would volunteer to or ask your son, brother, nephew to face unprepared terrorist attack?
