He also raised concerns over what he described as the “regrouping of armed individuals” in the area, warning that any attempt to destabilize peace and challenge the authority of the law would be met with strong resistance from both state authorities and the traditional institution.
Eze Ekpeye Logbo III called on the Nigeria Police Force to launch a swift and thorough investigation to apprehend all those responsible including their sponsors and ensure justice is served.
“Ekpeye land is a land of peace, law, and order and no individual or group will be allowed to drag it into anarchy,” the statement read. The release was signed by Anamoji Bright Felix, Director of Information and Public Relations, Palace of Eze Ekpeye Logbo III, and dated June 24, 2025.
