The people of Effium/Ezza-Effium in Ohaukwu and part of Ebonyi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State were thrown into a state of mourning and confusion, following the invasion of their communities by suspected assailants described as ’Effium warlords’.
Effium is the largest Igbo community in Ebonyi State.
The attack, according to Vanguard, claimed more than 26 lives and destroyed 17 houses in the early hours of Sunday, April 10.
Ebonyi is Igbo country. Back in the 1960s the Igbo tried to form a separate country they called the Republic of Biafra.
