“And so, it's miles very stunning that in a single day, all of the herdsmen in Ishielu nearby authorities vaccated the council vicinity which means that that the local herdsmen in Ishielu are a part of the conspiracy in killing of our human beings. They vacated regardless of all efforts my government, the governors of south east and security groups were making to protect them.

“Good sufficient, we've got a few traces of the sponsors, we've the lines of those who got here right here. I will not reveal it but I am going to increase the identities of the people to the highest government and we wait to peer what they will do however we condemn this attack, it isn't only taking place in Ebonyi country. If it's miles allowed to head this manner, it's far capable of producing very severe civil conflict a number of the nation of Nigeria.”
