The Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, made this point in a statement released on Wednesday.
The statement stated that it was “deeply saddened by the recent killing of innocent lives,” but that it was not “targeted at any particular state or ethnic group.”

Francis Nwifuru, the governor of Ebonyi State, had condemned the alleged murder of 13 Ebonyi residents in Anambra and demanded a prompt investigation into the incident.
Governor Nwifuru described the killing of the indigenes in the Ogboji community, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra, as shocking, according to a statement released by the governor’s chief press secretary, Monday Uzor, and obtained by Channels Television.
They allegedly died at their monthly town union meeting on Monday, according to the allegations.
Nwifuru argued that a direct attack on law-abiding citizens who were merely holding a community meeting was a retribution for humanity and peace.
This barbaric and direct assault on peace, unity, and the sanctity of human life is “not only barbaric but also a direct assault on humanity.”
A group of Ebonyi people meeting peacefully will be shot at close range defies logic and reason. He said, “I strongly disagree with such a heinous act in its entirety, and it is unacceptable.”
According to the statement, the governor has emailed Charles Soludo, the governor’s counterpart in Anambra State, to request a swift, thorough, and transparent investigation.
He hoped that the Anambra State government and relevant security forces would quickly find and prosecute the perpetrators.
He claimed that Ebonyi and Anambra’s relationship might be strained if they don’t do justice.
Governor Nwifuru has sincerely urged the Ebonyi people to remain calm and refrain from acting in any way that might cause tensions, while Governor Nwifuru is still waiting for the results of these inquiries.
