Governor Umahi also commended leaders and Stakeholders of the two clans for their cooperation which led to the return of peace to the areas.
" I want the Izhi people to know that the Government, the CAN have kept to their words by arresting the chief culprit, I don't know what we would have been done without you, because even when people distrust Politicians, they trust CAN and Ebonyi State is a very godly State, people are godly, so for your intervention, Father please extend our gratitude to our Lord Bishop.
“There was a display of leadership by the Deputy Governor and Mr. Speaker and I want to thank you very much for trusting me because we said we were going to get them and finally we did.”
The Governor also applauded the Nigeria Police Force and the Commissioner of Police for their resilience in arresting the perpetrators of the dastardly attacks.
