Protests rock Anambra community over sale of community land to Fulani Herdsmen



Protests rocked Anam community in Anambra on Sunday morning as aggrieved villagers took to the streets to agitate after it was claimed that the king sold community land to the Fulani herdsmen for cattle grazing.

This was said to have resulted in a clash between the youths of the community and the herdsmen. Last year, the people of Amichi in Nnewi South Local Government Area, Anambra State, decided not to take any chance after some Fulani herdsmen pitched their camp in their community.

The herdsmen had arrived in the town and wanted to graze their cattle but the villagers refused and chased the told them out of the community.
