Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi has said that there is nothing like ‘Unknown Gunmen’ in the state warning residents to disregard the Sit-at-home directive of the Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB.
It can be recalled that IPOB instituted a Sit-At-home order in the South-East every Monday until its leader, Nnamdi Kanu is released from DSS custody.
Speaking on the directive, Umahi threatened to sack any civil servant who complies with the order.
“I have therefore directed that any civil servant who is absent from work is automatically sacked and those absent in any of our construction sites would also be sacked.”
“Any shop or stall in Ebonyi that does not open for business will lose its right of occupancy and I want this directive to be widely publicised,” he said.
“No one can wage war in the south-east and our people especially the youths should rise and condemn such acts. There is nothing like unknown gunmen as those killing and the ones being killed are citizens of the zone,”
“I have directed the security agencies and the Ebubeagu security outfit to be on daily patrol across Ebonyi and flush out all unruly behaviour from the state,” he said.
