Ahead of the general election, a network of civil society organisations under the umbrella of the Civil Society Committee For Anti-Fraud Election Security has expressed concerns over the rising insecurity in Ebonyi State and plans to intimidate residents into voting against their choice by the state security outfit, Ebubeagu.
Addressing a press conference on the worrisome state of insecurity in Ebonyi State and its dangerous consequences before, during and after the 2023 general election, yesterday in Enugu, the founder of CISCAES, Kennedy Iyere, said the people live in fear of “Ebubeagu thugs and militias.” Three days after the court’s declaration, the state Governor, David Umahi, approved two new security outfits, including the Ebonyi State Neighborhood Watch and Ebonyi State Vigilante Corps.
In his reaction, Iyere claimed that despite the court’s declaration, the group has continued to carry out its unlawful activities.
