At least, 15 persons were reportedly killed during the attack allegedly carried out by some herders.<\/p>\n

Addressing reporters in Ikom, Cross River State, Deputy National Leader of BNL, and Head of Operations, BBS Media, Ebuta Akor Takon, said, \u201cEnough is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to them, \u201cWe [have] ordered members and supporters of BNL in other parts of the old eastern region to mobilize and launch counter-attacks on them in less than five days.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny attack from them will surely be avenged until they are stopped by their parents bodies, the Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore and Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association.\u201d<\/p>\n

BNL queried why soldiers would be after pro-Biafra groups but have done nothing to stop the attacks on villages by alleged Fulani militants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
