Legal practitioner, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has called for an investigation into the alleged Fulani herdsmen attack that claimed multiple lives in Ebonyi State.

In a statement, Ejiofor said the recent massacre in Amagu village, Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State is yet another grim reminder of the unchecked wave of violence plaguing our communities.

"This senseless bloodshed is both tragic and unacceptable. I strongly and unequivocally condemn this barbaric act and demand an immediate and thorough investigation to ensure that the perpetrators are swiftly identified and brought to justice," he said.

Ejiofor further stated that the sanctity of human life must never be compromised, adding the security of lives and properties should remain a top priority for all levels of government.

"It is imperative that law enforcement agencies act decisively to prevent further attacks and dismantle the networks enabling such atrocities.

"Once again, I urge the Governors of the South East to take bold and proactive steps to curb these recurring assaults on our people. They must explore and implement all necessary security strategies to fulfil their constitutional duty of protecting the lives and properties of their citizens. Inaction is no longer an option - our people deserve to live in peace and security," he said.

Meanwhile, the Spokesperson for the Ebonyi State Police Command, DSP Ukandu Joseph, confirmed to MyNigeria that one Maduabuchi Ebe has been arrested in connection to the attack.

He also revealed that the arrest led to the recovery of weapons and ammunition, adding that the police are on the trail of other suspects connected to the attack.
