Suspected Fulani herdsmen late Sunday evening attacked Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State.

According to report, the attack, which occurred late Sunday evening, claimed some lives, with many others critically injured.

Some of those killed were identified as Okeh Simon Ugwu Oruku, Okeh Chukwuebuka, Julius Ogbonna Odiegwu and Gabriel Ugwor Ezea.

A gruesome video which surfaced online on Monday morning showed a deserted community.

The voice in the video cried out that the invaders took the villagers by surprise and shot sporadically at the mourners.

Tables and chairs could be seen scattered in the compound where the mourners had gathered, with lifeless villagers also seen in the pool of their blood.
