Former aviation minister, Fani Kayode has alleged 100 Igbos were slaughtered today by Fulani herdsmen.
Earlier, it was reported about 20 were killed in Ukpabi Nimbo,Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State, after armed cattle herdsmen, reportedly numbering more then a hundred, swooped on the sleepy community in the early hours of Monday.
The slaughter of 20 people in Enugu by Fulani militants is unacceptable.When will @MBuhari appreciate the fact that NON-FULANI LIVES MATTER?

It was learnt that the herdsmen had previously fallen out with the villagers over their grazing activities in the community.
The villagers alleged that most of the herdsmen that were involved in Monday’s attack were ‘imported’ from Nasarawa State by other Fulani herdsmen who were already operating in Enugu.
