Reports say fresh crisis is brewing in Enugu State as a result of non-compensation to Fulani herdsmen who lost cattle to alleged invaders at Aku community in Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of the state, Nigerian Tribune has reported.
While speaking to journalists, the chairman of the Fulani South East Cattle Owners Association, Ardo Saed Baso, said the delay in compensating the cattle owners in Aku community was an injustice meted to them, stressing that it was high time the authorities looked into the matter.
People talk about how cattle are destroying farmland and crops but nobody now talks about where cattle were recently killed by unknown persons at Aku community in Igbo-Etiti.
“Nobody wants to investigate the killing our cattle at Aku. We want them to compensate the owners of the cattle. We are not happy. Tell the government we are not happy because of what happened to our people at Aku community,” he said.

The outburst of the Fulani leader came just as tension was rising following the death of two persons in a bloody clash between Igbo and the northerners at Gariki Market in Enugu, last Wednesday.
Barso said the owners of the killed cattle were going through untold hardship because of the loss they incurred, urging the state government to wade into the matter before it escalated to different dimension .
Meanwhile, security has been beefed up at the Gariki Market as heavily armed anti-riot policemen were seen guarding the area on Friday, even as the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ebere Amaraizu, said the command deployed anti-riot policemen to Gariki market immediately to stop the situation from escalating.
“Two persons were confirmed dead during a clash between an easterner and a northerner over an alleged misunderstanding that arose between them in the evening at the Gariki Awkunanaw Market.
“Security has been beefed up in the area by the Enugu State Commissioner of Police, Douglas AgboSnleni, to avoid escalation and breakdown of law and order, just as a full scale investigation has commenced into the incident,” the police spokesman added.
