Breaking : Planned herdsmen Attack

People of Ndi Uduma Awoke community in
Ohafia local government of Abia State are on
edge over alleged plan by Fulani herdsmen to
launch reprisal attack on the community. To
forestall the impending attack the traditional
ruler of the community, His Royal Majesty
Ezeogo Kalu Uduma Nchonwa yesterday led
other community leaders to the state police
headquarters Umuahia where they appealed to
the state police commissioner to intervene and
protect the community from herdsmen. The
police in a statement signed by the police public
relations officer, DSP Geoffrey Ogbonna
confirmed the fears of the Ndi Uduma Awoke
people, saying that combined efforts of the
police and the military had doused the tension.
According to the police, there was a dispute
between farmers and herdsmen in Ohafia local
government and “since the incident, Police
covert operations, and extensive patrol have
been deployed to ensure no further breach of
peace in the community and its environs.”
