There is confusion in Enugu State following reports that Fulani herdsmen have launched a fresh attack in Umuchigbo, another community in Enugu East Council Area of the state.

The reported attack is happening while the inspector general of police, IGP, Solomon Arase is at Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani council area where a similar attack occurred two days ago and left scores dead.

“Yes, there is trouble between the Fulani herdsmen and indigenes of Umuchigbo,” an unnamed source told Daily Post.

“The trouble started this afternoon. The casualty figure is not yet known.

“But school children have been asked to go home. It is not yet known if security men have arrived.”

However, another source told our correspondent that it was a scare, which later spread fast and schools started closing.
