Meitty Allah Terrorist Returns As They Set Farmers Settlements Ablaze.
By Rowlandgate.
Four years after Meitty Allah Terrorist herdsmen massacred the largely agrarian people of Nimbo in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State, some suspected Meitty Allah Terrorist have returned to destroy crops with their cattle while also setting farmers’ settlements ablaze at Efu-Ozara and Ugwu-Iga, also in Ukpabi Nimbo community.
The Meitty Allah Terrorist also allegedly destroyed crops in Ezi Ani, Nsukka Local Government Area of the state with their cattle, causing panic in the sleepy community.
He also said that he had always charged the Meitty Allah to avoid people’s farm while their cattle are grazing, adding that they pay compensation to farmers sometimes after destroying their crops.
Onyeji said: “Sometimes, the Meitty Allah Terrorist would bring N100,000 and share to 20 farmers as compensation. In the end, a farmer will be getting N3,000 for a farm which would have given him N100,000 to N200,000. We have stopped complaining to authorities because they won’t do anything to stop the menace.
Most farmers have given up on farming because of the losses they incurred in the past. All the communities in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area are living in fear of attacks from the marauding herdsmen. It is a very sad development.”
He said he has become helpless because he borrowed N250,000 to add to the money he invested in the farm, adding that he lost an estimsted N3,000,000 in his crops destroyed by cattle. Odogwublog.com
On the attack on farms at Ezi- Ani, the traditional ruler of the community, HRH, Igwe, Tony Ezema, said he had reported the development to the police, adding that nobody was attacked during the incident. He also said that the community is negotiating with the Meitty Allah Terrorist for settlement.http://Odogwublog.com
