The Ebonyi State government has ordered the immediate release of a white paper on the Ezza/ Ezza Effium and Isinkwo/ Abaomege communal conflicts.

The affected communities located in Ohaukwu and Onicha local government areas of Ebonyi had been engaged in fratricidal communal conflicts that resulted in the loss of lives and property in the areas.

The state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Jude Okpor, disclosed this while briefing journalists on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting held on Friday.
