Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen have resumed attacks in Mgbuji community, Eha-Amufu town in Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, killing four people in the community.

It was gathered from community sources that the attack occurred on Monday with the farmers attacked in their settlement.

A community leader, Ogenyi Samuel, who confirmed the incident on Tuesday, informed that three bodies were recovered hours after the incident on Monday with the remaining body found on Tuesday.

He Identified the victims as Izuchukwu Uzu, Daniel Ogbodo, Isaiah Odo, and one other person, whose father?s name is Emmanuel Eze.

The community leader lamented the members of the community, particularly the farmers, were tired of the frequent but unprovoked attacks and killings.

?We are tired and despondent. The government only mobilises security agents after every attack to collect corpses, but they don?t do anything to prevent the attacks or engage the assailants,? Samuel told newsmen on telephone.

On what led to the renewed attack, the community leader simply said that the victims went to their farms and were attacked and killed.

It was learnt before the latest attack, the herders last Friday attacked another person on the same farm and took his motorcycle, while he escaped with deep machete wounds.

Enugu Police spokesman SP Daniel Ndukwe, did not respond to enquiries when contacted. (The Nation)
