We will confront herdsmen coming to Ebonyi with Ak-47 - David Umahi

David Umahi, Governor of Ebonyi State, on Tuesday, stated his Government will confront Herdsmen coming to Ebonyi with AK-47.

He made the statement while briefing newsmen after an Enlarged Security Council Meeting at the Exco chamber of the Government House, Abakiliki.

He said Herdsmen are no longer needed in the state, adding that there is no cow or Herdsmen in the state.

He said: "Our problem is not just herdsmen but we’re are killing ourselves. We have sent out messages to miyetti Allah and we want them to stay out of Ebonyi.

"There is no cow and herdsman in Ebonyi State. Security agencies cannot be everywhere. Security agencies should enforce the ban on open grazing. We will confront herdsmen coming to Ebonyi with AK 47; you will be confronted with the same measure they are using to come with to Ebonyi State.

On the attack that took place at Ngbo Community in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, where over 12 persons were gruesomely killed, the Governor said, 

"I have been in touch with Benue State. We still hold the killing of our people on Agila people. Am going to fund fully the activities of Vigilante on that axis.

"The attack on Police Station is not done by herdsmen but criminals. South-East leaders should rise and condemn what is evil. Those we claim are protecting us are not protecting us."
