In the statement which reads in part, the group said, “A notoriously deadly strand of this violence in Igboland is the grand plan by armed herders and their sponsors to ostensibly supplant the indigenous/subsisting landowners by killings and destruction of farm crops. There is no state in the South East where these herders don’t march their animals on the farms, streets and roads with impunity.
