The Lawmaker representing Enugu East/Isi Uzo Federal Constituency in House of Representatives, Hon. Professor Paul Sunday Nnamchi has raised an alarm over another devastating herdsmen attack in Aguamede, Eha-Amufu, days after similar incident in Mgbuji also in Eha-Amufu.
In a statement he issued in Abuja, he lamented that just five days after the June 9th incident that claimed the lives of five constituents in Mgbuji village, a repeat occurrence was recorded on Monday, June 16th, 2025 at Aguamede with about eight dead bodies so far recovered.
“The news reaching me from the community is that several other villagers are still missing. The hoodlums l understand attacked the community at an early ours of the Monday morning killing and destroying properties worth millions of Naira.
“I want to use this medium to re-echo my earlier appeal for the redeployment of military personnel to Eha-Amufu and other troubled spots in Enugu East/Isi Uzo Federal Constituency to curtail the dastardly act and save my people from these marauders.”
Professor Nnamchi also called for relief materials to be extended to the victims who according to him were said to have taken refuge in neighboring villages by the National Emergency Management Agency, (NEMA) to provide succor for them.
He further urged the Inspector-General of Police and the Chief of Army Staff to rise up to the occasion by immediately deploying officers to the Eha -Amufu and ensure that the perpetrators of the heinous act were arrested and made to face the consequences of their actions.
