Armed Fulani herdsmen arrested at Ubo-Egbelu Emekuku forest

Eleven armed Fulani herdsmen were arrested at Ubo-Egbelu Emekuku in Owerri-North local government area in Imo state, and have been handed over to the police for proper investigation. 

According to the report received by the Drizzlersnews, the incident happened on Sunday 7TH of February, when some group of church members, who wanted to erect their church building structure at Ubo-Egbelu, went for the inspection of the land, with the agents, who are natives of the community, quickly gave a tip-off alert to the community vigilantes, about the presence of the herdsmen with different weapons in the forest, but they were quickly traced to the boundary of Ubo-Egbelu and Azara-Egbelu community land forest where they were arrested. 

So many of the Fulani herdsmen are usually seen at Emekuku at Achara-Ubo veterinary farm land, Egbu, Emii Uratta, Irette, Naze, Ikeduru as well other unnamed places were the go about with their cows for open grazing and so many farmer have cried out over destruction of their cash crops by cows, which are been led by Fulani herdsmen.

But last year the Fulani herdsmen and some Benue youths clashed at umuoba uratta community, the Benue youths warned them not to graze around where people are living or residential areas, rather the should go inside the bushes with their cows or the will ensure that their cows are killed, because the Fulani herdsmen pose dangerous threat to the entire society as the finally went away and continued their various business, and Drizzlersnews updated over the whole situation by a Hausa friend that resides in Uratta and through out the whole discussions Arabic language was used according to his report.
