The Igbo youths under the aeges of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation has cried out to the South-East governors over the spate of kidnapping in the region.

The Group National President, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said:

“We are concerned that people now travel through the various roads in the South-East under tension.”

“No day passes by without reports of abduction of commuters in various parts of the South-East.”

“This is despite the countless number of checkpoints in the South-East zone.”

“It has become a nightmare to commute from one South-East state to another; just as many have also been abducted while moving within their states.”

“Time has come for the governors to launch a clear collaboration aimed at taming this monster; our people have suffered enough in the hands of these hoodlums, as many don’t make it back alive owing to their inability to pay ransom.”

“The governors should sit up and protect the citizens which is their primary responsibility. Enough of too many words without action.”

“It is the way to go; we commend the Enugu State government for that action.”

“However, there should be sustained onslaught against these criminal elements; the trust and faith of the people in government has to be restored.”

“All the security agencies should be put on their toes to ensure that sanity is restored by dislodging these bandits as quickly as possible.”
