Killings: Total War Has Been Declared Against Our People–S/East Gov
The Ebonyi State governor and chairman South East Governors’ Forum, Chief Dave Umahi said total war has been declared against the people of the zone. He was reacting to the ongoing killings of Ndigbo by unknown gunmen.
Governor Umahi expressed regret over the killing of 12 persons in the zone in the last weeks and called for an end to the killings.
The governor made the assertion during the state security council meeting at the new governor’s office Abakaliki. He accused some Ndigbo living abroad of masterminding the continuous mayhem against the people.
