"We are mourning, we are in serious mourning since the late hours of Monday. Herdsmen invaded our communities and massacred our people. As we speak, 18 persons were slaughtered like animals. They macheted many of our people, burnt vehicles, motorcycles and looted our properties,” the resident said.

Chairman of Ishielu Local Government Area, Hon.

They assured that government would take proactive measures to investigate the invasion.

The spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Loveth Odah, who confirmed the attack, said six people were killed.

"The Commissioner of Police delegated a team of policemen for on-the-spot assessment because of peace talks going on in the town. So, the Commissioner of Police delegated them; Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations and others went for an on-the-spot assessment to enable us to get the detail of the report. So, they are yet to come back," said DSP Odah.

"We are still waiting for our men to come back to tell us their findings. I am already preparing a press release on the incident but their report will assist us in giving you detailed information about it,” she added.

If you are a Southerner and living in the North get up now and start coming back to the South. The earlier you start coming back home the better for you and your family because something is about to start. If you fail to listen to this warning you are on your own because these animals we call NORTHERNERS will slaughter you like animals. They are not human. They don't value life. Come home now. If these animals could come down to the South East to kill us God knows what they will do to those of you there in the North. Note that the latest killings in Ebonyi state will definitely spark up unimaginable reprisal. It is AN EYE FOR AN EYE. No tribe or religion has monopoly of violence. ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
