The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has challenged governors of the South East to articulate and publicise a workable security template for the region.
The group said the move would help to stem rising rate of terror attacks and other criminal activities in the region.
Onwubiko expressed worry that Federal Government and states in the South East have abandoned the people of Igbo land in the hands of armed terrorists, who are seeking to enforce the illegal Mondays’ sit-at-home order, which was allegedly directed by Finland-based Simon Ekpa. This is, therefore, a clarion call for South East political leaders, both elected and appointed, to articulate and publish, as well as start implementing a thoroughly articulated security blueprint and template for the region.
The group reminded South East governors that despite Buhari’s directive to the Nigerian Armed Forces and other security formations to end insecurity and restore order and stability in the country by the end of December 2022, terrorism has continued to fester.
