Nigeria - A community in Abia state is on edge after DSS' recent allegation that bodies of five Fulani herdsmen abducted and murdered were discovered in shallow grave at Umuanyi forest, ThisDay reports.
According to traditional ruler of the sleepy community in Isuikwuato Local Government Area of Abia State, Eze Uwadiegwu Ogbonnaya, the community is afraid of getting reprisal attacks from the rampaging herdsmen.
"We are worried that our community could be turned to another Agatu," the royal father said, in reference to the destruction wreaked on the community in Benue state by Fulani herdsmen.
According to him, sons and daughters of Umuanyi in the Diaspora have been calling and expressing fear about the safety of the residents of the community, given the familiar reports of reprisal attacks by rampaging herdsmen in some parts of the country.
He said the DSS linkage of Umuanyi community to the killing site was "a very malicious and false accusation," adding that he could not fathom out how the DSS came up with the information that Umuanyi community had anything to do with the location it discovered graves.
