Enugu Commissioner of Police removed by Federal Government.

The Nigeria Police Force yesterday removed the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, Mr. Nwodibo Ekechukwu, due to the attack on Ukpabi Nimbo in Enugu State by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

In a statement given by the Force Public Relations Officer, Bisi Kolawole.

“The Enugu State CP has been posted out of the state to another command and a new CP, Emmanuel Ojukwu, has taken over. The redeployment is part of strategies to improve police effectiveness across the country,”

On Monday last week, no fewer than 20 persons in Ukpabi Nimbo, an agrarian community in the Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State, were killed while many other residents were injured during an attack by Fulani herdsmen.

It was learnt that scores of armed cattle breeders, reportedly numbering more than 100, stormed the sleepy community in the early hours of the day.
