A spate of attacks by militant Fulani groups is raising fears that Enugu is becoming a new hotspot in Nigeria's sectarian conflict, writes Franklyne Ogbunwezeh.
From January 1 to January 21, at least 615 people have been reported as murdered by ‘bandits’, ‘herdsmen’, ‘gunmen’ and ‘Fulani’ militants, and at least 231 known persons were abducted by the aforementioned. Approximately 13,050 Nigerian people have been displaced from their homes due to the violence. These statistics have been aggregated from reports in both the international and local Nigerian press.
