Suspected Herdsmen Allegedly Kill University Lecturer In Enugu

A senior lecturer at the Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka, Anambra
State,  Dr Nnamdi Ogueche, has reportedly been killed by suspected
herdsmen in Enugu state.

According to reports, Ogueche was allegedly shot dead along the Iwolo
Road in the Ezeagu Local Government Area of the state while returning
from a peace meeting between his kinsmen and Fulani herdsmen in the
state capital on Wednesday March 20th.

The Special Adviser to the state governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on
Security Matters, Brig. Gen. Fred Eze (retd.) had called for the meeting
between community members and the herdsmen in Uzo-Uwani. Ogueche was
said to have attended the meeting as the Administrative Secretary of the
Uzo-Uwani Local Government Council.

Sources said the killing might have been aimed at provoking another
round of crisis between the herdsmen and the people of Uzo-Uwani.

Confirming the killing of Ogueche, the state commissioner for police,
Suleiman Balarabe, vowed to bring the perpetrators of the killings to
justice.

Meanwhile friends of the deceased lecturer have taken to social media
to pay their tributes to him. One of them, Ezekoye Pascal, wrote

GOODBYE SENATOR, 
GOODBYE DR NNAMDI OGUECHE
GOODBYE MY BOSSOM FRIEND, COURSEMATE AND CLASSREP (99 BCH UNN)

Sincerely am yet to recover from the shock, over the news of your demise
A vibrant, hardworking, humble and peace-loving young man, always happy.

At the prime of your life, the nomadics snuffed life out of you. Who
will take care of your tender wife and aspiring little kids. After
labouring for years to acquire PHD in UNN, a cow rearer will just waste
your life overnight, even when you came for peace. Can’t forget the
night we celebrated your employment as a lecturer in UNIZIK

You went for peace to the people that hates peace, You went to preach
peace to blood sucking herdsmen, foot soldiers of devilish government
and they did what they do best, shedding the blood of innocent and
armless citizens.

Look at what they are doing in Kaduna south, now they brought it to
Enugu, your local govt, your home, in your own farmland. We are not even
secure in our own land because some people wants to rear their cow in
our farmland. It’s disheartening to see people campaigning and voting
for such government that fail to protect it’s citizens, that promotes
killing of its citizens.

For those that imposed this government on us, those that contributed
either by their actions or inactions, willing or unwillingly, 
For those that campaigned for this evil government knowingly and
unknowingly, MAY YOU FOREVER REAP THE SORROW YOU SOW FOR US. THE CRY OF
HIS CHILDREN WILL RESONATE IN YOUR FAMILY

NIGERIANS DEFEND YOURSELF, 
KICK HERDSMEN OUT OF YOUR VILLAGES, 
YOUR SAFETY IS IN YOUR HANDS

REST IN PEACE BRO, 
NIGERIA HAS FAILED YOU
NIGERIA HAS FAILED YOUR FAMILY AT LARGE.

ADIEU SENATOR
ADIEU NNAMDI
ADIEU OUR PROF. IN VIEW
TILL WE MEET TO PART NO MORE
