Enugu Group Disclaims Reports Of Protest Against Fulani Herdsmen

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Reports that women and youths in Enugu State recently protested against Fulani and  herdsmen in the state have been seriously refuted by Enugu Youth Coalition.

Enugu Youth Coalition, in a statement, signed by its National Coordinator, Dr. Edwin  Obune noted that the reports claiming women and youth protested against Fulani herdsmen were manufactured from the pit of hell.

The group noted that the photographs of women who came for the annual August meeting were heavily distorted by mischief makers in order to incite the people against the state government.

Describing the falsehood in the distorted photographs, the group said “Rather, what Nigerians saw online was a false narrative against our women which was the handiwork of some wretched bloggers assembled by greedy and ungrateful politicians from the state who have launched full-scale media war against the good people of the state.”

Part of the statement reads that: “the latest attempt to use the picture of innocent women who returned home for this year’s annual August Meeting and subsequently assembled to discuss the welfare and development plans for their communities is outrageous and wicked!

“While statesmen are thinking of the next generation, greedy and ungrateful politicians from the state are busy thinking of the next elections and contest against their imaginary political opponents.

“Again, we wish to state that Enugu state has been peaceful and will remain peaceful no matter what the ‘violence-instigators and their alarmists’ from the state are trying to portray to the world.

“As responsible civil society organisation who have sworn to defend the interest of Ndi-Enugu at all times, we will be compelled to name

politicians from the state who have been sponsoring fake and malicious reports against the good people of the state.”
