Member representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency and Chairman House Committee on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Control, Hon. Amobi Godwin Ogah on Wednesday cautioned the Muslim Community in Umuchieze over attacks on members of his constituency on the guise of herdsmen.
Hon. Amobi gave the warning when he visited Umuchieze Cattle Market, Lokpanta in Umunneochi LGA to celebrate Eid-El-Fitr with the Muslim Ummah doing business at the area.
He noted that most people in the Community has stopped farming as a result insecurity in the area, thereby, causing hunger and poverty to the people.
According to him, “The hunger in our place today is because our people don’t go to farm again, herdsmen are raping our women and they are giving you people bad name.
“If we have Elders like you here and you cannot call the criminals to order, that means there is a serious problem. I want the right thing to be done and we must change our attitude.
Hon Ogah also used the occasion to thank the Executive Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti for his quick intervention in setting up operation crush to arrest the situation when the situation was unbearable.
