ESN, Again, send Herdsmen packing, destroy cows, settlement in Abia (Video)
Vigilante members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) Abia unit reportedly destroy properties worth a million or more belonging to Fulani Herdsmen in Aba.
The local security personnel reportedly invaded the herders’ Isiukwuato Camp in Abia State, chasing the settlers away slain their cows.
In sighted footage by Scannews24 earlier on Sunday on the Facebook page of the group’s commander, Nnamdi Kanu indicated a number of cows appearing breathless littering everywhere.
A female commentator who voiced angrily noted that the lands that belong to Biafrans and Herdsmen must leave.
The nine minutes length video also showed burning spots that appear to be the hut house used for shelter by the rearers.
Unveiling the vigilante group on 12 December, IPOB leader, Kanu bemoaned continued killing and rapping of farmers by cattle rearers across communities in the southeast
He warned and ordered herders to relocate to urban areas and live like other patriotic Nigerians.
Since the kick off of ESN, several backlashes have been recorded from the state and the federal government.
However, efforts by the Nigerian security agencies to frustrate the operation of the vigilantes remain unsuccessful.
