[q]The Ohafia traditional council in Umuahia, Abia State, has asked the Army to demolish the “illegal” Fulani settlement situated within their barracks.

The monarchs said their demand was not negotiable because the land was given to the Army but Fulani herdsmen have taken over part of it.

A statement by the Chairman Prof. Umeh Imaga said the settlement is believed to be a flash point for conflicts between the herdsmen and the Ohafia people.
The statement reads: “The military authorities are hereby warned to remove this illegal settlement because Ohafia people see it as a flashpoint for conflict, and will not condone anything that will put the people in fear.

“We remain resolute in our determination and age-long tradition of protecting the 26 villages and land of Ohafia, including our border communities.

“We view with grave concern, the deteriorating state of our security nationwide and the serious threat to Ohafia, its people, and residents in particular.
“The council is concerned with the activities and provocative actions of Fulani Herdsmen in the country, including the establishment of their settlement within the military barracks in Ohafia.

“The council again reiterates the uncompromising need for a synergy among security agencies and therefore, urges Nde Offia (hunters), Vigilance groups to work in tandem to achieve results.

“Security operatives must be screened and liable to the Ezieogo-in-council of each village/Community, who in turn must ensure a seamless security network throughout Ohafia Ancient kingdom.”[/q]
