The Federal Government has condemned calls from some South-East groups
for herdsmen to leave their region following alleged attacks carried out
by herdsmen in the region. Speaking to newsmen in Ebonyi yesterday May
1st, the Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, said
“This situation is not pleasing to anybody but the Federal Government is
desirous to achieve a peaceful, strong and united nation.
The government appeals to south-easterners
especially youths, not to take laws into their hands as a result of the
development. The people should exercise patience, as the president has
categorically condemned the herdsmen’s actions and directed that no
effort should be spared in checking the situation. The Ibos are known
globally to be peace loving and abhorrers of violence, as I enjoin them
to maintain such virtue” he said
