Ohanaeze Ndigbo has condemned the gruesome murder of a Northern woman, Haraira alongside her four children in Anambra State.
The Hausa woman and her children were murdered by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Reacting, the Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization in a statement made available to newsmen by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, said it was heartbreaking to learn of the unprovoked killing of the innocent souls.

The OYC President-General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said it was barbaric and satanic to kill a pregnant woman and her children in such a manner.
He wondered the crime they committed, noting that “even in war situations, women and children are spared. There is, therefore, no justification for the brutal murder of the woman and her children.
“We are saying for the umpteenth time that what is happening in Anambra State is an ill wind that would blow no one any good. Whoever is behind the dastardly killing and mindless maiming going on in Anambra State should cease henceforth. There is no issue that cannot be ironed out in a round table.
“Our people are not known to be cannibals and this is why we are still deeply amazed over what is taking place in Anambra State. The sanctity of human lives must be respected and preserved.
“Ndigbo also sympathize with the family of the deceased and urge the Northerners not to engage in any form of retaliation as it would mean playing into the hands of those who want to set the country ablaze.”
