Seeking to end unprovoked attacks, killings and maiming of communities, the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), the youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has ordered armed herdsmen to leave the South East zone.
The youths warned that any armed herdsman who fails to depart from the South East immediately is taking a personal risk.
In a press statement issued on Tuesday, OYC warned that Igbo youths would no longer watch the killer herdsmen disposes their ancestral lands and turn them into displaced persons in their own communities.
The statement was jointly signed by the OYC National President, Okechukwu Isiguzoro; the Secretary General, Okwu Nnabuike, and the National Publicity Secretary, Obinna Adibe.
They said the herdsmen had inflicted sorrow, pain and economic pains on several communities, hence the quit notice.
OYC accused the Federal Government of maintaining a�?criminal silencea�� over the barbaric activities of killer herdsmen in parts of the country, urging it to quickly declare the marauders a terrorist organisation and treat them as such.
It urged the Federal Government to limit the proposed colonies to the home states of the Fulani herdsmen, and to also consider the establishment of pig colonies in the North if it is sincere about the policy and entrenching national cohesion.
