The Youth Wing of the highest Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Word wide has condemned the attack by bandits on Nigeria Defense Academy Afaka Kaduna State, where two Army Officers were shot dead and another abducted.
The National Youth Leader of Ohanaeze Youth Wing, Engr Damian Okafor, who made the condemnation while briefing Journalists in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital called on Nigerian government to commence immediate investigation into the attack.
“Igbo Youths condemns in its totality the invasion of Nigeria Defense Academy Afaka Kaduna where two Army Officers were shot dead and another abducted whose body was allegedly found.
Ohanaeze, however, tasks the federal government led by President Muhammadu to carry out an unbiased investigation that will lead to the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators.
“Igbo Youths under the umbrella of Ohaneze Youth Wing worldwide calls on the Federal Government to commence an immediate investigation with a view to exposing the perpetrators and sponsors of these heinous crimes against the Nigerian Army and be made to face the wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent to others criminal elements.
“It is worrisome that the unchecked roaming of bandits and armed herders precipitated by open grazing has challenged the security architecture of the country adversely; hence, the call for proper investigation into the recent attack on NDA” he noted.
The group who also backed the
Southern Governors, resolved that "open grazing of cattle be banned across Southern Nigeria; noted that open grazing, which he described as old practice, should be abolished.
Okafor said open grazing had triggered conflicts between host communities and migrant herders, that had led to several deaths in many States across the country.
He maintained that Ohanaeze Youth wing was solidly behind the unanimous decision of the Southern Governors in the said meeting.
"The Igbo Youths stands by the unanimous decision of the 17 southern governors made known to the general public through a communique on May 11, 2021 resolving to ban open grazing of cattle in their states. We don't want to lose more innocent lives in Igbo Land. Enough of this carnage.
"Whoever that is subscribing for opening grazing in Igbo Land should know that our 17 southern governors are not stupid to have defended their people through that resolve. That person should know that he/she is the core enemy of Igbo Land and shall be treated as such," Okafor said.END//
