The lawyer representing the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and human rights activist, Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has called on Enugu State Governor Peter Mba to take urgent action regarding the invasion and attack on Ndiagu Amofia, Umuhu Autonomous Community in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area.
In a statement released on Friday, Ejiofor expressed deep concern over the continuous attacks by armed herdsmen in the Southeast, particularly in Enugu and parts of Ebonyi, which have escalated to a critical level. Despite repeated assaults on various communities, he stated that the government's response has been inadequate and passive.
Referencing a recent investigative report by Sahara Reporters, Ejiofor highlighted the devastating attack on Ndiagu Amofia, where armed herdsmen seized control of the community, burned homes, and displaced thousands of residents on February 28, 2025.
Describing the attack as a "bloody invasion" that cannot be ignored, Ejiofor called for the immediate deployment of all available security forces to reclaim Ndiagu and restore peace. He emphasized the need for bold and swift action by the Enugu State Government to prevent further harm to the community.
Ejiofor also insisted that displaced residents must be assured of their safety and supported in returning to their homes without fear of additional attacks. He criticized the government's silence and inaction in the face of ongoing atrocities, stating that citizens should not be left vulnerable to violent threats while leaders turn a blind eye.
Highlighting the government's duty to protect its citizens, Ejiofor lamented the destruction of Ndiagu and the displacement of its people, emphasizing the urgency of providing security against murderous herdsmen. He concluded by urging Governor Peter Mba to take immediate action to save the lives of Ndiagu's residents and put an end to the bloodshed.
