The South East Governors’ Forum has condemned Thursday morning’s attack which left two Soldiers dead at a check point at Aba in Abia state.

The attack, which occurred at Obikabia junction in Aba, was reportedly carried out by suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in a bid to enforce the sit-at-home directive meant to commemorate Biafra Day.

Addressing newsmen in Owerri yesterday, Chairman of the Forum, and Imo governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, who described the attack as “unfortunate”, and a major set back to the peace process being pursued by the governors from the zone with the Federal Government, believed the incident will also portray people of the south east in bad light.

The governor condoled the Chief of Army Staff and the families of soldiers, who lost their lives in the unfortunate incident, tasking security agencies to go all out to ensure that those behind the dastardly act were caught and prosecuted.
