Speaking at the peaceful protest organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria Enugu State, Bishop Obi Onubogu of Grace Cathedral Enugu described the attack as a bad omen. He declared that
this is the last of the herdsmen and Igbos will stop them for good.
A popular cleric in Enugu, Arch Bishop Austin Nwodika called on Igbos to be vigilant and be ready to defend their selves and their land.
He said the proposal of ranch or grazing land for cattle in Igbo land is totally unacceptable and that Igbos will resist it even if it means with the last drop of their blood.DSC_0050
“They cannot come to our land, grab our land to build ranches and grazing centre, we asay no to this.DSC_0034Igbos  in the north hustled and paid for their shops over there in the north, therefore nobody has the right to grab our land for grazing for cattle” Bishop Nwodike laments.
Some of the protesters NARRATOR.ng spoke to decried the position of governors of some South East States who are agreeing to allotting lands in Igbo land for grazing or for ranch.
They promised that they will resist the move as they told al l herdsmen to go back to the north and build their ranch there.
