A Nigerian man has raised alarm over growing insecurity in Enugu State, alleging that he was recently robbed in broad daylight by suspected Fulani herdsmen at gunpoint.
The man, who goes by the handle @carlo_di_wuu on X (formerly Twitter), took to the platform to call out the governor of the state, Peter Mbah, over the increasing attacks reportedly carried out by Fulani herdsmen across the state.
Sharing his experience, he wrote: “Fulani herdsmen/terrorists came to our crib at Heliu Estate, Enugu, and took away our things at gunpoint.”
In the post, he also referenced another tragic incident in the area: “A young boy was also killed and his Venza snatched from him along Bricks Estate last week. What is the hope of a citizen in Enugu State? Who is the next victim?”
Expressing frustration, he warned that residents were no longer safe in their own homes.
According to him, the attack could have easily turned fatal if the group of 10 to 15 armed men had met any resistance.
He further said: “Our lives would have been history if these men used their weapons on us, or if we had resisted. What is really going on in our land, @PNMbah?”
Lamenting the lack of security and protection, the victim hinted at taking matters into his own hands if nothing is done to address the growing threat.
“I would have to defend myself against these people, and nobody has the right to question me. If nothing is done about this, the next set of these people are going to meet their creator. I swear on my dad’s grave. 48 hours until I equip myself against being slaughtered ,” he added.
His outburst triggered reactions from concerned Nigerians, who flooded the comment section to share their worries over the safety of lives and properties in the state.

@BelieveGod_1: “They kidnapped someone 2 days ago at 9th mile with his sales girl. They’re requesting 50m and the family can’t even afford 10% of that. Only God will save us, if we talk now, they will say we’re de marketing Enugu.”
@lota_nna: “Ahh. Was saying it that if nothing is done on time, these people go soon enter Enugu town.”

@Dannymasterp: “Hope the Government does something immediately to prevent further attacks of this Fulanis. It’s very good that we always voice our from our zones so we can let our Government know that we have full information of what’s going on.”
