It reads, “Tragedy has struck our community once again. Barely 24 hours after we laid our beloved brothers of Hwrra village to rest, Fulani militias launched three separate attacks on Irigwe communities yesterday night April 8, 2025.
“The marauders carried out devastating ambushes in three locations: Zashi of Kperie, Kwall district; MODACS Hotel beside the College of Accountancy, Kwall; and Twin Hill (Gyu) of Miango district.
“In these attacks, two innocent lives were lost. Mr. Abba Sunday Ngah, 19 years old, was brutally murdered at Zashi, Kperie, and his motorcycle was carted away by the militias. Mr. Azie Daniel, 47 years old, was also killed beside MODACS Hotel, Kwall.
“The victims at Twin Hill, Miango district, narrowly escaped the attack.
“These attacks are part of a disturbing trend of violence and senseless farm crops destructions that has plagued Irigwe land for some years now.
“The Irigwe Youth Movement is deeply concerned about the silence of state actors, the lack of condemnation, and the absence of intervention or visitation to our people.
“We are particularly worried about the lack of action taken to arrest the perpetrators of these heinous crimes as they continue to kill our people on daily basis.
“May the souls of our loved ones find solace with the Lord. We will continue to seek justice for our slain brothers and sisters and for the peace and security of Irigwe land.
“We equally charge our people to intensify vigilance as our attackers have not shown any sign to stop their atrocities in our land.”
