JUST IN: 19 Fulani herders killed by IPOB militants in Anambra
No fewer than 19 Fulani herders have been slaughtered by suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Anambra State.
The incident reportedly occurred at the Igbariam community of Oyi Local Government Area of the state.
According to Daily Nigeria, the thugs invaded a storey building housing the Fulani herders on Sunday around 2:00 a.m.
No fewer than 12 women, seven men and an undisclosed number of children were murdered, reports said.
It was also gathered that the criminals brought out the victims, stripped them naked, tied and slaughtered them.
A member of the community, who pleaded anonymity, said that the criminals beheaded three men, cut out private parts, breasts and hearts of some of the women and carted them away.
The source added that the criminals killed 25 cows, injured 19 and slaughtered five others.
“Two children are currently in the hospital. A nine-month-old child’s forehead was edged out by the criminals.
“The unfortunate thing is that all the victims belong to the same family,” said the source.
