Ejiofor Alike writes that with the obvious ineffectiveness of the Ebonyi State Police Command and other federal security operatives in protecting lives and property in the state, which led to the recent massacre of no fewer than 15 people in Ishielu Local Government Area of the state by suspected herdsmen, Governor Francis Nwifuru should establish a local security outfit to protect the people from senseless killings
For the umpteenth time, suspected herdsmen struck in Ebonyi State on Sunday, February 2, 2025, killing 15 people and destroying several property worth millions of naira in Nkalaha community in Ishielu Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
Many residents of Ebonyi State had blamed the previous administration in the state for encouraging the influx of criminal herdsmen into the state.
