- A Nigerian man has raised concerns about increasing insecurity in Enugu State after being robbed at gunpoint by suspected Fulani herdsmen in broad daylight.
- Carlo_di_wuu on X, criticized the governor of the state, Peter Mbah, for the increasing attacks by Fulani herdsmen in the region.
A Nigerian man has voiced his distress over the growing insecurity in Enugu State, claiming he was recently robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
The man, identified by his handle @carlo_di_wuu on X (formerly Twitter), publicly called out Governor Peter Mbah, accusing him of ignoring escalating attacks allegedly carried out by armed herdsmen in different parts of the state.
Recounting his harrowing experience, he wrote:
“Fulani herdsmen/terrorists came to our crib at Heliu Estate, Enugu, and took away our things at gunpoint.”
He also referenced another tragic event that occurred nearby, where a young man was reportedly killed and his Venza car stolen along Bricks Estate.
“What is the hope of a citizen in Enugu State? Who is the next victim?” he asked, voicing fear and helplessness.
The victim explained that the group of 10 to 15 armed men could have easily taken their lives if anyone had tried to resist.
“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?,” he wrote.
Frustrated by the lack of protection from authorities, he hinted at taking self-defense measures, warning that future attackers may not go unchallenged.
“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 emotional post has since sparked a wave of concern from fellow Nigerians online, who took to the comment section to express their own fears over the rising insecurity and apparent lack of government action in Enugu 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.”
