We therefore want to state in strongest terms that this has to stopped as our decision to be peace loving people should not be taken as an act of cowardice and pusillanimous.

In the same vein,we want to call with a high tone on the authorities saddled with the responsibility of protecting lives and property to step up efforts in ensuring that the needful is done in terms of apprehending the culprits and absolute justice served so as to put an end to all manners of destruction of lives and property within Rigwe nation.

We therefore want to use this same medium to commiserate with the immediate families and the entire nation over the loss of our brothers, may God comfort us all even as we pray for the repose of their souls. May the perpetrators experience unrest courtesy the disturbance by the innocent bloods spilled.

Though, the situation is grievous and onerous but we call on our people to continue to remain law-abiding as we are known for and also maintain ceaseless vigil, security consciousness and surveillance so as to forestall a reoccurrence of this dastardly act.
