herdsmen to keep their distance from the state at the moment.

In other news, the governor has also warned herdsmen to keep their distance from the state for a short time. According to him, the amount of pressure from the killing of policemen and burning of police stations in the South-East zone should deter the herdmen to stay put at where they are.

in his words: “We are killing policemen, we are burning police station which means that South East leaders should know that our problem is not just herdsmen. We want to put it on record that no herdsman is in Ebonyi state now.

“We didn’t ask them to leave. They left on their own, which means they were privy to the attacks on Ebonyi state.

“I have been begging the National leadership that with what is going on, no State Governor is in control of bandits and because of the killings of the defenceless Ebonyi people, for the safety of them, they should not return now.

“There is high tension. We have sent text messages to Myetti Allah that Ebonyi state is under tension and we would not want them to still stay until such a time that the State is safe.”
