Residents of the South South and South East geopolitical zones of the country now live in fear. They are worried and very disturbed.
This followed the killing of law enforcement agents in their regions by gunmen. In the last three months, gun men have killed no fewer than 67 law enforcement agents and burnt down over 50 police formations in the South South and the South East.

SOUTHERN leaders, public commentators and leaders of thought on Tuesday chided the Islamic scholar, Sheik Ahmad Gumi, over his comment on Monday that Fulani nomad feels threatened of his existence and fighting ethnic war.
The cleric had, in an interview aired by Channels television, said killing by the nomad is not because of criminality, but ethnic revenge, adding that they (the herdsmen) don’t attack a village except the village did something to one of them. The Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) advised the Nigerian media to stop giving publicity to Sheik Gumi. Its national publicity secretary, Ken Robinson, in a reaction to Gumi’s narratives about bandits and killer herdsmen, said it was “unfortunate that the nation should be hearing one absurd statement or the other from this man, every day.”
