JUST IN!!! South East Governors Declare War On Mkpurumiri, Vow To Apprehend The Dealers


Governors of South East Region on Wednesday in Nigeria have declared war on Methamphetamine also known as Mkpurumiri, Igbere TV reports.


A statement signed by the Chairman of the South East Governors' Forum, Governor David Nweze Umahi said they have decided that all shops and locations where any hard drug is sold will be forfeited to the State Government and all those promoting the trade or indulging in hard drug shall be seriously isolated to face the law.

The statement added that rehabilitation of those misled into hard drug is also ongoing.


The statement reads in parts,

"1. We condemn in strong terms the video clip and write-up we saw in some social and print media where two policemen were said to have been killed and their heads cut-off by youths who styled themselves as members of IPOB/ESN. We have resolved among ourselves to work with security agencies to determine the authenticity of this video/report and if found to be true, to apprehend the perpetrators by all possible means to face the law. We are aware of similar videos in the past and which when subjected to forensic review were found out to have happened outside Nigeria. We assure Nigerians especially the Police community that we will not rest until we have done justice to this matter.

2. We resolved to be very committed in our fight against hard drugs in our region especially the new one called Methamphetamine, locally known in South East as Mkpurumiri. We have decided that all shops and locations where any hard drug is sold will be forfeited to the State Government and all those promoting the trade or indulging in hard drug shall be seriously isolated to face the law. Rehabilitation of those misled into hard drug is also ongoing. We urge community leaders to give secret phone calls through the special numbers offered by our Governors on security and hard drug.

3. We thank all our youths for the relative peace we enjoy in South East now. We are committed to your welfare. We want those who were misled to carry arms against our people and security agencies to surrender their arms to the Governors and get rehabilitated back to the society.

4. We warn all criminals who have styled themselves as IPOB/ESN to kill our people to immediately stop. We are aware that the insecurity and killings in South East have gone beyond IPOB/ESN as any criminal finds it easy to hide under such a name to commit crimes. We are determined to do everything to protect the lives and properties of our people. Our youths are advised to leverage on the various empowerment and agricultural programmes by our Governors to better their lives.

5. On the issue of agitation by the youths, we are reviewing the work of Ohaneze Ndigbo committees on this matter and will soon call a larger stakeholders’ meeting to address such. All issues relating to the agitation and its fallout are better settled politically and on a negotiation table and we thank the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria – President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR for his consideration of a political solution to this problem. He has demonstrated that he is a good father who listens to his children.

6. We urge our people to resume their Monday businesses as we assure them of adequate security.

7. We thank all our security agencies for their commitment to securing the lives and properties of our people in the South East and we assure them of our continued support as they discharge their duties."

STAY WITH IGBERE TV. AFRICA'S NO1 COMMUNITY TV.

If only other regions could emulate the Igbos then vices like Omonile, standing on the road to collect Owoda and skull mining would be a thing of the past

No need for them to face Nigeria useless laws where they can bribe the police. They should be subjected to community punishment

So even the governors now know that the crimes going on in the East, are not done by IPOB/ESN?

who doesn't know? Even those who are wailing and vowing that those who killed the policemen are ipob and ESN know within them that they are not ipob nor ESN but are doing everything possible to paint ipob bad as way of begging for unity.

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The issue of meth is not that high in the East unlike in the North and SW just the Igbo man nature of ' stitching in a time which will later save him nine' has made it so loud that people now think that the issue is only in SE.

Notherners and Swesterners took all different of hard substances ranging from Tramadol, indian hemps, Solution and many other hard substances.

No way out.

The communities are going after the customers while the Governors are going after the dealers.

No side is safe for either the dealers or the customers.

If I were in their shoes and given the opportunity to chose, I will prefer to deal with the Governors than the communities. The kind cane wey those villagers dey flog these boys no be here oh.
