Ndinne Igbo, an all-women socio-cultural organization, has threatened its members would march naked across Igboland to protest killings by herdsmen in the region if the situation is not addressed immediately by the relevant authorities.
The southeast has been plagued with coordinated killer herdsmen attacks in the last few weeks, resulting in the death of hundreds of people.
The group condemned the recent herdsmen attack in Enugu and Ebonyi states by herders, lamenting that many Igbo children have become victims of the deadly attacks.
The group in a statement signed by its resident, Mrs. Beatrice Chukwubuike, on Saturday, April 3 and seen by Legit.ng, called on Nigeria and Igbo leaders to arrest the terrible situation before it degenerates into anarchy.

Meanwhile, an exclusive report by Vanguard indicates that policemen in the southeast have abandoned their checkpoints and now go to work in mufti for fear of being attacked.
In the past few weeks, armed men have targeted police stations and checkpoints in what security experts say is a coordinated attack targeted at the Nigeria Police Force.
According to the report, since the beginning of 2021, there had been bloodbaths in most of the southeast states and there appears to be no solution in sight.
The report revealed that following the attacks on the police at the checkpoint, policemen now go to work wearing mufti and only dress in their official uniforms when they get to their offices.
Recall that armed gunmen attacked a police checkpoint in Agu Eze, Abiriba in Ohafia local government area of Abia state, killing three policemen last week.
The dead officers were identified as Inspector Austin Ugwu, Inspector Longinus Ugochukwu, and PC Ama Ifeanyi.
