The Senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District, Dr. Sam Egwu has condemned the crisis in Effium between the people of Effium and Ezze Effium, Ohaukwu Local Government Area of the state which has led to the loss of many lives and properties burnt.

 

Egwu described as unfortunate the violence that has led to wanton destruction of lives and property and other means of livelihood in the area.
