Ohaneze Ndigbo youths have raised concerns over incessant killings and kidnapping by suspected herdsmen in the South eastern parts of the country.
A statement on Sunday by the National leader of the body, Amb. Dr. Arthur Uchenna Obiorah, challenged concerned authorities to provide security intelligence networks to battle the menace. The statement partly reads: “Elected public officer holders in the executive and the legislative arms as well as the five south east governors and their counterparts in Delta and Rivers should fortify their internal security mechanism to enable them safeguard their territory from the invading Fulani marauders whose aim is geared towards annihilation of their people from their ancestral lands.
“Igbo sons and daughters, the political class, people in diaspora and legal professionals from Igbo land should rise to their responsibility to ensure the systemic approach of the herdsmen be put on check and lives and property of Ndigbo are kept secured in their land.”The group vowed it will fold its arms and allow strangers who came to its land to transact business to resort to kidnapping and killing, insisting that “this nonsense has to be checked”.
