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.
