The statement reads, “The spate of rape, kidnapping, and killings in Igbo land by the daredevil Fulani herdsmen has reached an alarming crescendo. The recent killing of an innocent woman in Nchatancha, Enugu, buoys the staccato outcries of national insecurity.
“With the situation virtually out of hand of the security agencies, the people may be compelled to resort to self-help for survival unless a drastic effort is exerted, by the security forces, to quench the impending national holocaust.”
Achi-Okpaga further called for thorough investigation and prosecution of the killers to assuage the people.
“We, therefore, call on the Police, to as a matter of urgency, investigate this condemnable killing of this innocent woman and bring the culprits to face the wrath of the law in order to restore the confidence of the people”
“The people’s patience has been stretched to their elastic limits and only a thorough investigation, exposure of the criminals and totally check the seemingly intractably crimes will assuage the frayed and bruised nerves of the people.”
