The Judicial Commission of Inquiry into killing of people and destruction of property by suspected herdsmen in Nimbo, Uzo Uwani Local Council of Enugu State, has started sitting.

Speaking yesterday during the inaugural sitting in Enugu, the Chairman of the panel, Justice Chukwuma Eneh (rtd), promised that the panel would do justice to all parties involved in the matter.

Eneh, who described the assignment as critical owing to the security threats in parts of the country arising from the activities of suspected herdsmen, said: “We call on Nimbo people and every other community where herdsmen live and graze their cattle in the state to co-operate with us as we strive to discharge our duties without any ill-will.

“We equally call on the herdsmen to co-operate with us in spite of the season they are in.”

Eneh said that the commission would do its best to curtail infringements on citizens’ rights in the interest of communities and herdsmen.

He said that all parties involved would be given summons “as we would not like anybody to complain of being omitted.
