A resident of the community confirmed to The Guardian that the herdsmen murdered over 20 persons, while another resident said 10 were killed.
She noted that the Commissioner of Police had deployed a team led by Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations for an assessment to get the detail of the report, but they were yet to come back.“We are still waiting for our men to come back to tell us their findings. I am already preparing a press release on the incident but their report too will assist us in giving you detailed information about it,” Odah said.
He said the herdsmen also killed a Methodist Church priest in Nkalaha, a neighbouring community, whose car was burnt, adding that houses, food items, furniture and other things, were set ablaze. An eyewitness, Ngozi Odoabuchi, described the incident as ‘horrible’ just as The Guardian learnt that corpses of the deceased were conveyed to Eha-Amafu, Enugu State for embalmment.Three residents of Umuhali, two residents of Amazu, and three residents of Eha-Amufu, who were passing the Nkalagu-Obeagu, Eha-Amufu-Ikem and Ubolafor road and two others, from Anambra State but resident at Nigercem Nkalagu, were among the victims.

I weep for my state. If not for our government whom have sold us for his selfish ambition in 2023, it wouldn't have gotten to this. Let every man rise to defend himself and his family as our government has failed us woefully.
