Enugu attack claims lives of two herdsmen, 16 cattle
A joint security team, including personnel from the 82 Division Garrison, the 103 Battalion Reinforcement, the police, and the Department of State Services (DSS), visited a community on Tuesday to assess a recent violent incident. The visit took place around 11 a.m. and was detailed in a social media post by security analyst Zagazola Makama.
Following the assessment, the security team convened a meeting with community leaders, Fulani herders, members of the neighborhood watch, and other stakeholders to address the situation and discuss measures to prevent further violence, according to Makama’s post.
Authorities also cautioned residents against taking retaliatory actions. The bodies of the victims were retrieved and transferred to the police. Investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend those responsible for the attack, including suspected local collaborators.
