YAOUNDÉ, Cameroon – A report by a Catholic–inspired NGO has revealed Jihadist Fulani herdsmen are overrunning Christian communities in the country’s South East.

The report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, Intersociety indicates that jihadist-Fulani herdsmen and allied others now occupy at least 950 locations in Nigeria’s largely Christian South Eastern states of Abia, Enugu, Anambra, and Ebonyi.

“All the strategic locations in Igbo Land have been saturated by Fulani herdsmen with the aid of the Nigerian military,” said Emeka Umeagbalasi, Nigeria’s leading criminologist and head of Intersociety.
