Ebonyi police, IPOB in war of words over killings in Ngbo community
over the gruesome killings of some persons in Ndegu Orie Umuoguduakpu community in Ohaukwu Local Govt Area of Ebonyi State.
“Also houses and farm produce storage facilities were burnt and destroyed during the attack. These Herdsmen and Nigerian security agents beheaded their Biafran victims in their trademark Jihadi style. They also destroyed Bethel Methodist Church at Umuoguduakpu” But in a swift reaction, the Ebonyi state police command through the Police Public relationship Officer, PPRO, Loveth Odah debunked IPOB’s and other allegations on social media.
“However, the command wishes to state categorically that this crisis is a re-enactment of the age long border crisis between the two warring communities which has led to loss of lives and destruction of property worth millions of naira’. “The Commissioner of Police Ebonyi State, CP. Awosola Awotinde, undertook a tour to the crisis areas where he admonished the people to remain calm and not to carry out any act that will further jeopardize the peace process already initiated by the Government, both at the State and Federal level”
