Gov. Umahi of Ebonyi stateThe Governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi has condemned the rising activities of miscreants suspected to be members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), describing such activities as the last kick of dying horse.
The governor expressed deep concern that the group had now resorted to circulating all kinds of cheap lies and blackmails against him and his government, explaining that the miscreants have taken over social media where they dish out all kinds of unfounded lies in form of write-ups, audio and video recordings against him and his government.
In a statement today, August 24 in Abakaliki by his Special Assistant on Social Media, Emmanuel Igwe, the governor said that in as much as he cannot dignify the miscreants by joining issues with them, it has become pertinent to let the public know their new antics so they can be wary of them.
He said that having now realized that their fraudulent activities in the name of IPOB have been exposed, they have now gone crazy with all sorts of dangerous activities.
“I warned the group to desist from character assassination and blackmails against me and my Government or they will regret their actions.”
Governor Umahi warned “the unscrupulous elements indulging in the act to bear in mind that the cybercrime prohibition Act of 2015 is still in force, and that anybody caught must face the full weight of the law.”
He called on the general public to keep away from the miscreants and their activities as security agencies have been detailed to clamp down on them, even as he assured the people that his administration would continue to protect them from killer herdsmen and tackle other insecurity problems.
