Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Toby Okechukwu, says the recent killings in Ebonyi State, the attack on former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, and the prevailing killings across the country are indications that things are falling apart.
Toby Okechukwu warned that the country was already neck-deep into a season of anomie, which if not immediately arrested, would spell doom for the country.
The lawmaker, who represents Aninri/Awgu/Oji River Federal Constituency in Enugu State, bared his mind in a statement he issued in Abuja on Thursday.
While condemning the recent massacre in Ebonyi State communities and the attack at an event in Anamabra, which left three policemen attached to Soludo dead, he stressed that time was overdue to breath life into the reports of the 2014 National Conference and the Governor Nasir El-Rufai-led All Progressives Congress, APC, Committee on True Federalism, both of which he said favoured state police the answer to the rising insecurity in the country.

He urged President Mohammadu Buhari, the security agencies, and leaders of the nation at every level to rise up to the challenge or risk being the undertakers of the Nigerian federation.
While commiserating with the people of Ebonyi State, Okechukwu, however called on the security agencies to ensure the arrest and prosecution of the executors and masterminds of the Ebonyi killings.
