Maduabuchi Idam, a human rights attorney, has urged Governor Francis Nwifuru to step in and stop the resurgence of violence in the state’s Amasiri region.
To prevent a further breakdown of law and order, Idam urged Nwifuru to bring peace back to the impacted community.
In response to a state native who was trekking from Lagos State to Ebonyi, the attorney made this statement in an open letter to the governor on August 29, 2025.
The aforementioned native claimed that in order to express his gratitude to the governor for bringing peace back to the Effium community, he made the decision to hike from Lagos to Abakaliki in Ebonyi State.
“I read in Premium Times News that someone is trekking from Lagos State to thank His Excellency in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State for restoring peace in his community, Effium— I am motivated to again write your Excellently, urging him to in like manner, graciously implement the strategy that restored peace in Effium in Amasiri,” the open letter titled “Renewed attacks, tension, and hostility in Amasiri” says. It is desperately needed.
