A human rights lawyer and counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has praised the return of relative peace and stability in Nigeria’s South-East region.
In a statement on Wednesday titled “The Return of Calm in Alaigbo: A Triumph to Cherish, Not a Licence to Relapse,” Ejiofor described the development as encouraging, noting that residents can now go about their daily activities without fear.
He said the improved security reflects the core values of the Igbo people, including resilience, enterprise, and respect for life, adding that the peace was achieved through coordinated efforts by key stakeholders and security agencies.
Ejiofor also commended the professionalism of security operatives, particularly the State Security Service, for adopting a more civil and rights-respecting approach.
However, he cautioned that the peace remains fragile and warned against any attempt to destabilise the region again. He urged authorities and citizens to remain vigilant and committed to sustaining the progress.
According to him, lasting peace must be built on justice, equity, and responsible governance, stressing that it is vital for economic growth and long-term development in the region.
