Urge the Nigerian Government to stop the massacre of Igbos

Closed 2,027 signatures

What the petition asks

Since the beginning of the year, there has been a number of attacks by Fulani herds men, on indigenous Igbo population in the east of Nigeria. The most recent, being an attack on the Nimbo Community in Enugu during which over 50 people lost their lives, several injured and properties destroyed.
Of all these attacks, the Federal Government of Nigeria has been silence. Rather, the federal house is pushing ahead with a bill that will give the herds men full right to graze their cattle's on peoples farm lands. Similar petition is already going on and gathering signatures in the White House. We are appealing to the UK parliament to use its influence to make the Nigeria Government address these killings before it degenerates to inter tribal attacks.
