A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, has decried the ongoing violence in the South-East region, accusing some elements within the region of falsely blaming Fulani herdsmen for the crisis.
Igbokwe made the remarks in a Facebook post on Thursday, where he alleged that the spate of killings and destruction in the South-East was being perpetrated by fellow Igbos.
“The blatant and pathological lies about the killings and destruction in the South East can no longer stand.
“It is Igbo killing Igbo, it is Igbo destroying Igboland and put the blame on Hausa/Fulani herdsmen. This is not our culture. This is sad,” he wrote.
