 The O'Hanez and Ibo has raised an alarm that some people want to turn the Ibo land into an environment for terrorist activities. Speaking during a press conference in Abuja, the president general of the group, Professor George Obiozzo, called for the harmonization of security operations in the southeast region. Reacting to the recent violence in the southeastern states, notably Ibo, Anambra, Ebuyan, Abia, Obiozzo said it is not in the character of the Ibo to be lazy or violent. He called on the police not to associate the southeast with kidnappings or violence, adding that undue publicity should not be given to trivial issues.
