The
Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, Mr. Nwodibo Ekechukwu,
has been removed following the alleged herdsmen attack on Ukpabi Nimbo in Enugu State by suspected Fulani
herdsmen. The Force Public Relations Officer, Bisi
Kolawole, confirmed on Tuesday that Ekechukwu had been posted out of
the state to another command.
She, however, did not state why the police boss was redeployed.
“The Enugu State CP has been posted out
of the state to another command and a new CP, Emmanuel Ojukwu, has taken
over. The redeployment is part of strategies to improve police
effectiveness across the country,” she stated.
On Monday last week, no fewer than 20
persons in Ukpabi Nimbo, an agrarian community in the Uzo-Uwani Local
Government Area of Enugu State, were killed while many other residents
were injured during an attack by Fulani herdsmen.
It was learnt that scores of armed
cattle breeders, reportedly numbering more than 100, stormed the sleepy
community in the early hours of the day.
