Nimbo Community Demands N17bn From FG Over Herdsmen Attack
Category: Nigeria National News
The Nimbo Community made the demand through their traditional ruler, Igwe John Akor,
who testified on Wednesday at the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into
the incident, where no less than 11 people were killed.
Akor said that the sum would be a recompense for the ills suffered by members of the community in the hands of the herdsmen.
“Our community demands a compensation of N17 billion for human loses, unlawful destruction of property and criminal deprivation of use of our farms for over two decades,” Akor said.
The conclusive evidence of deaths recorded during the incursion stands at 11. The economy of our community has been ruined.
“Part of our prayers is for a combined team of police, DSS and the military to investigate why the invasion was not contained in spite of prior information to the effect.
“We equally request the Federal Government to establish security presence in Nimbo being a border community,” he said.
Akor said that as a traditional ruler he never collected any form of
gratification from the herdsmen to allow them graze in the community. He
also said that the community also needed a traumatic hospital to
rehabilitate victims of the prolonged herdsmen incursions.
