In a statement by his media aide, Ekweremadu bemoaned the incessant attacks on parts of the country by herdsmen, saying it posed a grave threat to the peace, security, and economy of the country.
“This is another heartbreak, not only for Enugu State, but the nation in general; and whatever evil forces behind these reprehensible acts certainly do not wish the country well. It must not be condoned.
“The primary object of government is the welfare and security of the citizens. The Federal Government must take decisive steps to put a full stop to this wanton destruction of lives and property; and the security agencies must do everything humanly possible to ensure that the perpetrators of this act of wickedness in Akagbe-Ugwu do not go unpunished”.
The Deputy President of the Senate condoled with the affected community and prayed for the peaceful repose of the dead.
