As I am speaking to you, they are preparing for his (Mathew\u2019s) burial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The AYC PRO expressed sadness over increasing cases of killings in the area and called on security agencies and the local government authorities to come to the aid of the people.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe insecurity in Ekpeye communities is worrisome. People don\u2019t sleep with their two eyes closed. As of last month, we had about 36 killings recorded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Ekpeye ethnic nationality, we have six clans known as kingdoms. Among the killings we recorded, Ubie has the highest figure of about 16 while Ahoada recorded six. We recorded three cases in Akoh with motorcycles stolen and daily robbery cases on Odiemenyi Road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am calling on the security agencies and the political leaders to beef up security in Ekpeye land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also call on the Divisional Police Officer, the Area Commander, the Commander, the Joint Taskforce Commander, the local government chairmen of Ahoada East and Ahoada West and the paramount rulers to come to the aid of the poor masses in Ekpeye land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The State Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, who confirmed the incident, however, said it was not cult-related.<\/p>\n<p>Iringe-koko said, \u201cYes, I can confirm the incident.
