Enugu State Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
addressed people and family members of
the victims murdered by Fulani Herdsmen
at Nimbo Community, present at the burial
mass which took place on Thursday.
What he said below… Monday, the 25th of
April, 2016, will ever remain a dark, sad
and solemn day in the memory of the
people of Enugu State and indeed Nigerians
at large.
It was on that day that our brothers and
sisters, whose remains are lying here before
us, were ambushed and murdered in cold
blood and in their own land.
Having done all that was needful including
attending to the injured and the displaced,
we have assembled here, in tears and in
grief, to bury the dead and bid their
innocent souls a final farewell.
Though our emotions cannot restore them to
life, we find solace in the fact that the whole
world had stood by us and offered us
sympathy and solidarity, ever since the
incident that took their lives, occurred.
We make bold to declare that their deaths
can never be in vain and we pledge to do all
that is within our legitimate means, to give
them justice. Like the martyrs they have
become, the spilling of their innocent blood
is already saving souls as it has aroused in
our people and indeed the whole nation, a
burning impulse to do all that is necessary
to prevent the future occurrence of similar
incidents anywhere in the country.
Shortly after the attack, we had called for
fasting and prayers and we must declare
that the God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God
of Jacob, and awesome God of David, has
not failed us but has continued to show us
His mercies. For, even as we await the
outcome of the judicial panel of Inquiry that
we have constituted to unravel the
circumstances surrounding the incident, we
received news that five people, who are
suspected to have participated in the attack,
had been arrested by the police and
paraded before the whole world.
We use this occasion therefore to once
again, express our gratitude to the
generality of Nigerians who put aside
religious, ethnic and political differences, to
offer us their hands of support and
sympathy after the killings. We thank the
Federal Government and the security
agencies for the steps they are taking to
prevent future occurrences and address the
issues that led to the incident.
We thank the people of Enugu State for their
restraint and for the confidence they placed
in our ability as a Government to deal with
the matter in a mature and responsible
manner.
Finally, we wish to thank the elders and
stakeholders of Enugu State, Traditional
Rulers, Members of the State and National
Assemblies, members of the clergy and
indeed everyone who found time to be here
today as we send forth our brothers and
sisters, to eternity and immortality. May
their souls rest in the peace. Amen.
Thank you all and God bless.

Though, it’s good to honour the death
but it’s more honourable to let our
Vandenta speaks louder than our words-
an eye for an eye.
