“We mourn with the families of the bereaved and pray that God will console them on this sad incident hoping that this will come to an end very soon than we expect,” it said.

The group encouraged Governor Simon Lalong not to lose focus as they stand by his proactive measures taken to curb this ugly carnage.

“We equally mourn the Irigwe nation over the mass burial of their people who were mercilessly killed by Fulani murderers recently.

“We hope those involved in these shameless acts will make a U-turn and embrace peaceful living,” it said.
