OBINNA EZUGWU

The Abia State government has reacted to reported skirmishes between herders and farmers in the Isiukwuato area of the state.

The government in a statement, Monday, by the state’s commissioner for information, Chief John Okiyi Kalu, frowned at the destruction of farmlands in the state by herders grazing openly in violation of the existing laws of the state and the country, but condemned in its entirety, the alleged killing of cows by some individuals in the state.

The government whose reaction comes in the wake of the reported skirmishes between herders and men of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), a ‘security’ outfit formed by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), said it had activated all relevant components of the state security architecture to ensure the safety of lives and property of law abiding citizens, residents and visitors to the state.

“Abia State Government wishes to condemn in its entirety the recent destruction of farmlands by cows grazing openly in violation of extant laws of the state and Nigeria,” the commissioner said.

“It also condemns, without reservations, the activities of criminal herdsmen suspected to have masterminded recent brazen kidnap of innocent citizens around Abia North Senatorial Zone of the State.

“Consequently, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has directed security agents in the state to bring to justice all those involved in the criminal activities.

“Government also frowns seriously at the wanton destruction of cows by yet to be identified individuals whose aim is to exacerbate already existing tensions.

“Government has fully activated all relevant components of the state security architecture to ensure the safety of lives and property of law abiding citizens, residents and visitors to the state.”

The government called on all residents of the state to go about their legitimate business without fear as according to it, it will stop at nothing to protect every law abiding resident.

“We therefore call on the people to go about their legitimate businesses without fear as government is on top of the situation and will spare nothing in protecting Abians,” Kalu concluded.

Igbos that have the smallest landmass in Nigeria is who you are trespassing on their lands ehn fulani?


If you fail to take back your step to the north then whatever your eyes see make you take.

These herdsmen no dey hear word. Your patron hates ndigbo and ndigbo hates him in return. Instead of you to keep off from the enemy territory, you still get mind dey kidnap for there. Next time, it might not be only the cows that will die the kidnappers herding the cattle will be killed and eaten as well. For the last time, Fulani herdsmen, keep off igbo land

All these old men dragging themselves on nairaland Na so south wan do their own country?

Great press release from the Abia state government. Who borrowed Okezie sense eekwa?

This is what the FG dread most. When the state structure which they can control does not have strong influence on the real owners of power; the people.

The concept is Ohaneze, the people and their king. Not Ezenoha, the king and his subjects. Power in the east come from the people and for the first time in a long while the eastern governors are coming to terms with reality.
