Suspected armed herdsmen invaded the Mgbuji community in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, and killed eight people, injured others, and kidnapped many, while farmlands were also destroyed.
There are rising fears in the community that casualties may rise in the coming days due to the level of injuries sustained by some of the villagers who were caught in the attacks.
A villager, Chinaza Akan, who witnessed the incident said one of the casualties was a pregnant woman whose stomach was said to have been ripped open and the foetus removed, while others were people who went for a marriage event.
Some villagers told Daily Sun that the armed herdsmen invaded the community, on Sunday afternoon, through the border with the Benue community, and attacked several farm settlers and other unlucky people caught in the farm.
