Governors of the south-east region have said series of attacks in their region have gone beyond activities linked to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The governors’ position was made known in a statement issued by governor of Ebonyi and chairman of the south-east governors forum, Dave Umahi after a virtual meeting with his colleagues on Wednesday.
The statement reads: “We warn all criminals who have styled themselves as IPOB/ESN to kill our people to immediately stop,”
“We are aware that the insecurity and killings in South East have gone beyond IPOB/ESN as any criminal finds it easy to hide under such a name to commit crimes. We are determined to do everything to protect the lives and properties of our people.
“Our youths are advised to leverage on the various empowerment and agricultural programmes by our Governors to better their lives.”
