I was very rudely awakened from a deep sleep today’s wee hours by
a rash of text messages that buzzed noisily for nearly a minute.
These
messages were six in number and came in torrents from family members and
friends who live in Aba, Abia State; Ogoja in Cross Rivers State and Otukpo in
Benue State.
These
hugely unexpected messages had similar information on the rumoured invasions
simultaneously of these places of their habitation by armed gangs of Fulani
herdsmen who are said to be getting ready to invade some communities which are
agrarian and whose land owners had protested earlier cases of invasions by cows
and herdsmen resulting in the destruction of their crops that are awaiting
harvest.
