The indigenous occupants of "Agbobor Isu", a community in Onicha LGA, Ebonyi State are gripped in shock with the latest name the area bears- "ARUU".
According to the report by Ndubuisi Eke, a conservative indigenous reporter, on Monday January 4, 2021, he said that the renaming of the community by the fulani herders was with the permission and approval of the Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi.
"Fulani militias, minions and herders currently living in Ebonyi State has renamed a community called "Agbabor Isu" in Ebonyi State of Biafra land with the approval of a sellout governor of the state - Engr. Dave Umahi, who is currently dying for the position of a Vice President."_Eke said
Eke alleged that the governor, without the awareness and approval of the villagers, had singlehandedly sold the community land to the herders for his political aspirations of becoming the vice president.
"Mr. Dave Umahi single handedly sold out a community land in Ebonyi State to his Fulani neo-masters from the Sokoto caliphate in order to remain relevant within the corrupt Nigerian political space"_Eke stated.
Going further, he asserted that the said new name "Aruu" is nonnative to the indigenous people as it has nothing to do with their existence.
"The place sold out is called "Agbabor lsu" in Onicha Local government area of Ebonyi State, a town just after Mr. Dave Umahi hometown of Uburu by the left hand side, from description; Isu is the most closet community to Uburu and Agbabor is the ancestral land housing the community of Isu and partially Uburu.
"Mr. Dave Umahi, sold and gave out the land to the Fulanis' to which the Fulanis criminally renamed Agbabor to "Aruu", to which we don't know the meaning as the name has nothing to do with our existence as a people."
Ndubuisi Eke noted how some local counselors, whom he said are in countenance with the governor, always side the Fulani cattle rearers, not minding that they (herders) are troublesome.
"Just two weeks ago, a Fulani boy had a misunderstanding that would have resulted to a conflict with a nearby town boy, and the Fulani boy ran back to their camp only to come back with their Fulani killer squad and they shot sporidically and mercilessly for hours, this caused the free borns and residents of Ebonyi living within the said area to leave their homes for safety.
"To the people's greatest surprise, the local government chairman sided with them, with the Eze cabinets inclusive because they are all working and using Mr. Dave Umahi's free cars."_Eke added
He, however, pleaded with all concerned and conscience people, especially the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to come to their aid, saying that the herders have built more than a hundred and fifty huts in the area.
"Agbabor people are asking for help from all concerned and conscientious people around the world especially, appealing to the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra - IPOB to help them return to their ancestral land currently being occupied by Engr. Dave Umahi and his Fulani masters.
"In Agbabor, there are two bushes to which the Fulanis' from no where has turned the bushes to be their home by forceful usurpation chasing away the owners of these bushes from cultivating within these places, infact it is now a home to the Fulanis' from the Sahel.
"They have built more than one hundred and fifty shades/huts. They decide and determine what happens within this affected jurisdiction, the land is very big and massive land that the progenitors of Agbabor farmed on it and handed it over to their offspring for the sole purpose of inheritance but surprisingly, as a result of insatiable greed and the quest to become the vice president of Nigeria has Mr. Dave Umahi criminally handed over these Agbabor bushes to the Fulanis' to please the sultan of Sokoto since he joined APC."_Eke said.
