Igbos and IPOB are brainwashed, and they do not understand what they are agitating for, says Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi.
“People should stop raising false alarms so that if anything happens we will know.”
“Members of the proscribed IPOB were intercepting motorcycles, molesting, threatening and shooting sporadically into the air to scare people.”
IPOB’s sit-at-home order has crippled socio-economic activities in Anambra.
“Ebonyi people are grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari for all his assistance and if people do not see his goodness, he has been good to us.”
Some security personnel were already patrolling major streets in the state capital in order to maintain peace and order in the area.
The attack occurred at about 12:00 p.m. near a primary school in Afikpo community.
Armed men have recently targeted the police, killing scores of officers, setting stations on fire and carting away arms and ammunition.
The loss of legitimacy, the increased willingness to challenge the state, are just a preview of Buhari’s over-reliance on the use of force.
