IGBO youths on the
banner of the Igbo
Youths Movement,
IYM, have urged the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal
Government to probe the recent arrest of 76 farmers in Ugwuleshi
community in Awgu
Local Council of
Enugu State over
plans to protest the
menace of Fulani
herdsmen in the
community.

Noting that the men
should have been
arrested by the police, the IYM in a statement by its Founder, Evangelist Elliot Uko, wondered why the 76 farmers had to be arrested by soldiers from a military base in Abia State.

Worried that the development if not
properly addressed
would set a very bad precedent in Nigeria, IYM said:

‘’The army should
not be easily drawn into policing, especially when
emotions are high
over the notorious
impunity of the Fulani herdsmen.

The decision to use
soldiers instead of
the police, was a wrong choice. Did the governors of both Abia and Enugu, specifically ask for soldiers t o cart
away the farmers?
Who gave the order
authorizing the military to wade in?
Why did the military
deny that they were
involved at the onset? Nobody believes the funny narrative of fake
soldiers in military
uniform and military
trucks; we think someone is trying to
cover up the obvious
use of the Army to
settle ethnic scores.

‘’We demand a thorough investigation to the use of the Army to round up and cart
away all the able
bodied young men in
Ugwuleshi village, over incessant attacks from Fulani herdsmen. Only a
thorough probe of
the incident and punishment meted
out to whoever ordered soldiers to invade the
community, would
assuage the feeling
of unjust intimidation and persecution,
pervading Ugwuleshi
and environs at the
moment."
