Heavily armed men suspected to be herdsmen again, stormed the Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The attack, which occurred late Sunday evening, claimed the lives of scores of residents leaving many others critically injured.
Community sources say that the herders attacked mourners at Ugwuijoro Nimbo community, leaving behind tears and sorrow. Some of those k!lled were identified as Okeh Simon Ugwu Oruku, Okeh Chukwuebuka, Julius Ogbonna Odiegwu and Gabriel Ugwor Ezea.
A video seen by newsmen on Monday morning showed a deserted community.
The voice in the video cried out that the invaders took the villagers by surprise and shot sporadically at the mourners. Tables and chairs could be seen scattered in the compound where the mourners had gathered, with lifeless villagers also seen in the pool of their blood.
Nimbo was also attacked in 2016, leading to the death of scores. The incident attracted a nationwide outrage then.
the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Enugu State Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe is yet to respond to an enquiry on the latest attack.
