He assured that the state government would use all apparatus at its disposal to protect the lives and property of people of the state irrespective of their tribe or religion . He appealed to the people of the state to distance themselves from rumours of skirmishes between northerners and their hosts in the Southeast, adding that Nigeria needed peace and stability for the sustainable development. In his remarks, the President General of Igbo Cultural Association in Adamawa, Chief Obonna Ibere , condemned the current unrest in some states of South east. “Anybody found guilty of committing crimes against the nation should be treated as an individual. “The issue of IPOB is being used by some disgruntled elements to blow the situation out of proportion,’’ Ibere said.
