It was learnt that the military took the battle to suspected ESN operatives where they believed they were hiding.

A source in the area said there is tension while the gun battle rages on.

According to the source, many people have abandoned their houses and fled to neighbouring communities.

“Soldiers of the Nigerian Army are currently locked in a gun battle with ESN boys in Nsukka. They have been clashing since yesterday evening and some parts of the town are still tense. Heavy shooting presently going on,” he stated.

SaharaReporters had on Tuesday reported that eight persons were killed after Fulani herdsmen and operatives of the ESN had a violent clash in Adani area in the Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State.

SaharaReporters had stated that the ESN operatives came to the Igga community who were being allegedly attacked by the rampaging herdsmen in their farms and houses.

Eyewitnesses had narrated that trouble started on Sunday when some Fulani herdsmen shot a member of the community on his farm and also blocked sympathisers from taking the victim to hospital.

“It was the refusal of the Fulani herdsmen to prevent the wounded farmer from being rushed to hospital that triggered angry reactions from residents, who called the attention of some of the Eastern Security Network to the assault.

“It led to a terrible, bloody showdown between the herders and the ESN. Eight persons were killed. I cannot say if they were herdsmen or villagers,” the source had added.

Another source explained that while the herdsmen formed a barricade to prevent the young farmer from being rushed to hospital, the ESN operatives came on motorcycles and shot at the crowd of people barricading the injured farmer.

“After that episode played out, a mosque was also razed by angry youths in the community leading to many residents of Adani, an agricultural community, fleeing the area to neighbouring communities in Nsukka and Igboetiti local government areas,” he said.

Some of the fleeing Adani residents explained that the ESN operatives were in bushes and sighted by hunters and local vigilantes searching for the Fulani herdsmen and their cattle – a situation which had led to tension in the area.

The residents noted that they feared the herdsmen might be planning to stage a reprisal

For real ?

If you are Igbo and you still believe in the Unity of Nigeria, psyschiatric hospital should be your permanent home by now...


Nigerian army always ready to take sides with Herdsmen but refused to protect the citizens they ought to protect..

It's obvious that the an attack on ESN by Nigerian army last week was to pave way for Herdsmen to invade Eastern Nigeria...

Let's see how this ends...

If you all wait for the Nigerian armed forces to protect you, you will all die one by one..they always collude with the fulani marauders and give them cover before any attack on the indigenous population...!! That's a fact and stories abound...!!

The eastern people should simply have a kill at sight mentality once any fulani is sighted anywhere in the east...both civilians and ESN operatives..That's the only solution...once you take out there base lunching an attack easily would be hard...its same peaceful fulanis that abhor the killers before they move in and all in collusion with the town fulanis...and their elements in the armed forces...!!

I have said it severally in the past,that ESN should be trained and ready to fight the nigeria state sponsored terrorists in uniform ( sodiers) Rather than fulani herds men...the federal government will use the military to invade the east to pave way for fulani herds men to penetrate,they knew fully well that fulani stand no or little chance to conquer the igbos hence they want to use a state sponsored terror......igbos should brace up....don't leave the fight for ESN alone,help them in what ever way you can.....this is not just a fight it is a well planned attack by the fulani lead federal government of nigeria....I pity those still playing cheap politics with all that is happening....yorubas should also brace up.... instead of using the military on Yorubas fulani herds men will be used instead so that they will tag it "herders farmers clash"both the herders and the militaries are working hand in hand.... God save us..

you people also make things hard for us to come into agreement. We need to each other to get rid of these people, because no matter how much we mock each other it's still our people that are being killed. Let the south unite for once and do the needful, after then everyone can negotiate how they want to live.

I am rooting for ESN

Shameless fulani soldiers, na ordinary bandits carry fight meet una for house (Niger State), kill some, kidnap others on top of am

Una come dey here dey make noise

Fulani soldiers

As e dey hot.

I heard ESN was able to repel the military incursion.

Please, Ndigbo it's time to ESN. However, ndi IPOB, talk to Nnamdi Kanu so he'd learn how to manage properly and stop all these unnecessary insulting rants.

But in the meantime, Nnamdi Kanu should publish ESN bank so that the goodly spirited people like us can contribute. I've no doubt that we Ndigbo can fund ESN better than Nigerian military, and if we DO ESN will beat Nigerian military so easily.

Fulani Herdsmen attacks eastern towns...., ESN repels.., Nigerian army comes to eliminate ESN so that the Herdsmen can go in to kill and maim! Meanwhile Nigerias army refuses to arrest killer herdsmen!
Is it not obvious now that the so-called Nigerias army has now turned to fulanis vigilante group?

It depends on why and who the insults are directed to..Some people dont deserve respect especially in Nigeria

tit:
Yamuri yamutu yakari

That's a slang is for 1967 this is 2021..wake up and smell the coffee.. its now fulani Yamutu yakare..!!

You shall see...its pain me that some southern element in the armed forces are still used against their own people and they still foolishly adhere..!! They better wake up or else they would end up not having a village or family to visit during ..!!!

Buhari has done in less than 4 years under a democratic rule,what a 4 years civil war couldn't;dividing Nigeria along ethnic and religious lines.
What an achievement.
