In a response to the attack, the CNG in a statement signed by its spokesman, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, said the state government must act quickly to bring the culprits to book and warned that the North would no longer tolerate unwarranted attacks on its people living in the South East or any other part of the country.
The CNG said it had studied the unfolding events carefully and with considerable restraint and maturity to the point of condoning and accommodating several unreasonable and unacceptable actions that had been perpetrated against northerners in the South East in particular. “The recent attack in Abia has taken matters to a point whereby silence has become complicity and inaction is no longer an option in the face of unprovoked evictions, attacks and killings of northerners in various parts of the South East.“As a first step, we demand that Abia State and the federal government must act quickly to arrest these criminals and expose their supporters within two weeks from today.
“We also demand an immediate and comprehensive assessment of casualties and extent of damage inflicted on the innocent northerners and appropriate compensation made to the victims,” Suleiman said. The CNG said it was quite aware of attempts being made by ‘self-appointed’ enemies of the North to force the region to react to their provocations so as to usher in anarchy and greater instability.
