Women of Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo local government area of Enugu state, on Tuesday, staged protest over assault and rape by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
As captured in a now viral video on X, the women took to the street, sitting on the bare ground as they vented their frustration over the criminal acts perpetrated by the suspected herdsmen.
One of the women who spoke in Igbo recounted how the herdsmen rape them and insert sticks in their private parts.
As transcribed by an X user, @ChuksEricE, she also claimed that their husbands and sons are unable to farm for the fear of being beaten by the herdsmen.
“Our women are being raped by Fulani herdsmen, our husbands don’t go to farm again, our sons don’t go to farm again, when the women go to farm, they will be beaten by the Fulani herdsmen, rape and also put stick inside their vig!na” the woman said.
