Ohanaeze Ndigbo Says Fulani Herdsmen Attacks Have Declined In SE Since Late President Buhari Left Office

Apex Igbo socio‑cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has stated that the South‑East region has not recorded incidents of attacks linked to suspected Fulani herdsmen since former President Muhammadu Buhari left office.

The group described the decline as “remarkable,” saying it marks a sharp contrast to what the region experienced for several years. 

Ohanaeze noted that, during the height of the crisis, communities in the South‑East suffered destruction of farmlands, displacement of residents, and attacks attributed to armed groups operating from forested areas.
According to the organization, the region endured “over six years” of insecurity linked to these groups, which it said left many villages devastated and created widespread fear among people.
It says that the current calm in the region has brought relief to affected communities and renewed hope for stability.
