Herds men invade abi community in Enugu state.

Life has reportedly refused to return to normal in the agrarian community of Abi in Enugu state, following an attack by herdsmen at the Uzo Uwanilocal council area.

This may not be unconnected to the fact that Hausas live in many parts of the local gov­ernment which shares a com­mon boundary with Kogi state (a north-central state).
