"The constant killing, kidnapping, among others happening in the South-East are not helping us. We need to readjust and arrange our home. This is not our identity. The Igbos are not known for violence. We must rise up with one voice and denounce this ugly situation in our land. I'm pained that we are no longer safe in the land that our forefathers gave us."
