The indigenous occupants of “Agbobor Isu”, a community in Onicha LGA, Ebonyi State are gripped in shock with the latest name the area bears- “ARUU”.

According to the report by Ndubuisi Eke, a conservative indigenous reporter, on Monday, January 4, 2021, he said that the renaming of the community by the Fulani herders was with the permission and approval of the Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi.

“Fulani militias, minions and herders currently living in Ebonyi State have renamed a community called “Agbabor Isu” in Ebonyi State of Biafra land with the approval of a sellout governor of the state, Engr. Dave Umahi, who is currently vying for the position of Vice President”, Eke said.

Eke alleged that the governor, without the awareness and approval of the villagers had singlehandedly sold the community land to the herders for his political aspirations of becoming the vice president.

“Mr. Dave Umahi single-handedly sold out a community land in Ebonyi State to his Fulani neo-masters from the Sokoto caliphate in order to remain relevant within the corrupt Nigerian political space”, Eke stated.

Going further, he asserted that the said new name “Aruu” is nonnative to the indigenous people as it has nothing to do with their existence.

“The place sold out is called “Agbabor lsu” in Onicha Local government area of Ebonyi State, a town just after Mr. Dave Umahi’s hometown of Uburu by the left hand side, from description; Isu is the most closet community to Uburu and Agbabor is the ancestral land housing the community of Isu and partially Uburu.

“Mr. Dave Umahi, sold and gave out the land to the Fulanis’ to which the Fulanis criminally renamed Agbabor to “Aruu”, to which we don’t know the meaning as the name has nothing to do with our existence as a people.”

Ndubuisi Eke noted how some local counselors, whom he said are in countenance with the governor, always side the Fulani cattle rearers, not minding that they (herders) are troublesome.
