Ohaneze Youths Give “Killer Herdsmen” Two Weeks To Leave South-east Bushes

The youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has given a two week ultimatum to all herdsmen in the South-east to leave the forests and bushes in the area or they would be forced to eject them themselves.

The National leader of Ohanaeze youths, Arthur Obiorah, while speaking at a press conference in Enugu on Tuesday June 9, said that indigenes have suffered a lot in the hands of the “killer herdsmen” and that they can't continue to tolerate the menace. 

He added that everyone was free to stay in igbo lands as long as they were living out in the open and not inside the crevices and depths of the forest.

Here's what he said; 

“We have suffered enough in the hands of these killer herdsmen who maraud our area; maim and kill our people recklessly. They rape and defile our wives and daughters.

“So, we can’t bear it any longer. Anyone who wants to live in Igboland is free to do so but must not live in our bushes. That’s why we have given them two weeks to vacate the bushes and forests.”
