Fulani Herdsmen: Igbo Women Surprise FG With Their Actions When Fulanis Unleash Havoc On Igboland, Invade & Kill villagers
In protest of the increasing number of killings and attacks carried out in Igbo communities by Fulani herdsmen and other criminal elements, Igbo women, represented by the Igbo Women. Assembly (IWA), have spoken out.
They bemoaned the fact that these attacks had rendered many women widows and brought attention to the fact that insecurity still exists in the South-East despite the fact that there are countless checkpoints in the area that are manned by different security agencies.
The Igbo Women Assembly voiced their profound worry and dissatisfaction over the ongoing violence that has afflicted their communities in a heartfelt plea for
justice and protection. They voiced their disbelief that such atrocities continue to occur despite the presence of security forces in the region.
The women questioned the effectiveness of these security measures and demanded immediate action to address the escalating insecurity.
The Igbo women emphasized that the loss of lives and the plight of the affected families have deeply traumatized their communities.
They highlighted the significant number of women who have been left widowed and children who have been orphaned as a result of these attacks. The pain and suffering endured by these women have driven them to speak out and demand justice for their loved ones. Furthermore, the Igbo Women Assembly expressed their frustration at the seeming inability of security agencies to provide adequate protection for the people. They urged the security agencies to demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding the lives and properties of the citizens.
The women questioned why the security presence has not translated into tangible results and called for a change in approach to address the prevailing security challenges.
In a bold assertion of their rights, the Igbo women demanded that if the security agencies are unable or unwilling to protect the people, they should step aside and allow the communities to take matters into their own hands.
This statement reflects the growing
sentiment among the affected population that they are left with no choice but to resort to self-defense in the face of ongoing threats and attacks.
The Igbo Wornen Assembly’s call for self-protection underscores the urgent need for the government and security agencies to restore confidence in the affected communities.
It is imperative for the authorities to
address the root causes of the insecurity, strengthen security measures, and ensure that those responsible for the attacks face the full force of the law. Only through these actions can the government regain the trust of the
Igbo women and their communities.
The outcry of the Igbo women echoes the broader concerns and frustrations felt by the people of the South-East
region.
The persistent insecurity has not only
claimed numerous lives but has also
disrupted economic activities and
social cohesion..
It is essential for the government to
prioritize the security and well-being
of all citizens, regardless of the irethnic or regional affiliations.
The Igbo Women Assembly’ s cry against the killings and insecurity in the South-East serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for action.
The government must address the
grievances of the affected communities, provide adequate security, and bring the perpetrators of violence to justice.
