Crisis In South Eastern Nigeria

The clash which killed the young lawyer in Owerri reportedly caused chaos in the state capital while residents scampered for safety during the free-for-all.

Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi state has stated that the crisis in the southeast region is a result of some Igbos killing themselves in the name of agitation.

Imo state governor, Hope Uzodimma has condemned the murder of Dr. Chike Akunyili, describing the circumstances of his death as wickedness of the highest order.

Foremost Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has called on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to explore dialogue instead of resulting to violence in the region.

The decision of Indigenuous Peopls Of Biafra (IPOB) to announce another sit-at-home on October 1 has attracted the condemnation of the Igbo National Council.

Residents in both Imo and Abia states damned the consequences and resumed their normal activities without any fear of being harassed or attacked by enforcers.
