The Ebonyi State government has rejected the judgment of a Federal High Court which proscribed the South-East Security Network, code named, ‘Ebubeagu’ as illegal.
The dissolution of Ebubeagu in Ebonyi was ordered by a Federal High Court in Abakaliki on Tuesday after identifying the organization as an illegitimate group.
The court also ordered the Department of State Services, DSS and the police to collect all the weapons in possession of the operatives of the outfit.
But Uchenna Orji, Ebonyi State Commissioner for Information and Orientation told journalists on Wednesday that the judgment was dead on arrival.
Orji who spoke at a press conference in Abakaliki, the state capital said there is no cause for alarm over the judgement.
“Ebubeagu has legal backing to its existence and operations not only in Ebonyi but the entire south east. We will not hesitate to go to the supreme court to know who is right in this circumstance.
Also speaking, Mr Stanley Okoro-Emegha, Special Security Consultant (SSC) to the state government, noted that machineries were already in motion to appeal the judgement
