Igbos Responsible For South-East Killings, Not Herdsmen —Joe Igbokwe

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – A chieftain of the All-Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, has kicked against the ongoing violence in the South-East region as he accused some elements within the region of falsely accusing Fulani herdsmen of the crisis.

Igbokwe made this revelation in a Facebook post on Thursday as he alleged that the spate of killings and destruction in the South-East was the handiwork of fellow Igbos.

“The blatant and pathological lies about the killings and destruction in the South East can no longer stand.

“It is Igbo killing Igbo, it is Igbo destroying Igboland and blamed Hausa/Fulani herdsmen. This is not our culture. This is sad,” he writes.

The APC stalwart, who is from Anambra State, is known for speaking up on issues that affect the Igbo region, and he has been at the forefront of the end of what he describes as self-inflicted violence.
