Nigeria: Rep Decries Ezza, Ezillo Communal Crisis

Abakaliki — A House of Representatives member from Ebonyi State, Mr. Paulinus Nwagu, has lamented the spate of killings in the two years communal war between Ezza and Ezillo people in Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

Igwe Nwagu, representing Ezza North\Ishielu Federal Constituency, said the crisis which had degenerated into a guerilla war, was worrisome, especially with the killings of security personnel and innocent people traveling along the trans African highway of Enugu-Abakaliki Road, that are caught in the cross fire.
