Irked by the spate of killings of innocent Nigerians by Killer Fulani herdsmen, the Archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical province (Anglican communion), the Most Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma, in Onitsha, Anambra State, warned the Fulani killer herdsmen to steer clear of the entire Southeast zone in their own interest or Nigerians would be
ready for the second civil war.
Archbishop Chukwuma sounded the note of warning while fielding questions from newsmen during the second day of the four-day meeting
of Church of Nigeria Standing Committee, currently being held at All Saints Cathedral church Onitsha and Presided over by the Primate of the Anglican communion, His Grace, the Most Rev. Henry Ndukuba.
“They should keep off from here, we have suffered enough. If they don’t want a seconf civil war they should keep off Southeast”
“We can not tolerate their walking anyhow, killing our people and raping our women particularly now that the rainy season is coming for farming.
We have to really prevent danger, we want to warn them that if anything happens again we will not take chances any more. Whatever violence they cause here they will regret it” he fumed.
The cleric recalled the recent resolve of the Southeast Governors that open grace is banned in the zone adding, “as far as Governors of the
Southeast are concerned, we are supporting them, they are on the right track”.
“We can not tolerate the fulani herdsmen any longer, forget their cows, how can they be kiling our people, raping our women, if anything happens again we will not take chances. How can they be harassing everybody,
They should be declared terrorists. What IPOB was doing was a kind of agitation for their right but these killer herdsmen continue to cause this restlessness, it calls for serious action”
“The fulani heardsmen are doing the worst thing and they are not declared terrorists, they should not be granted amnesty, they should be declared terrorists, they are dangerous and that is why they are killing people anyhow”.
“Mr. President is not saying anything about this their killing, it means Mr. President is encuraging terrorism. Fulani herdsmen should be declared terrorists, it is because they are not declared terrorists that they are doing what they are doing, killing people anyhow.
I am disappointed Mr President is not doing anything about it, it is not fair. If Mr. President is a true Nigerian he should declare them terrorists and find a way of using the new Service Chiefs to deal
decisively with them otherwise we will continue to have the restlessness” he stated.
