The Chairman of Bonny Local Government Area, Hon. Abinye Blessing Pepple, has condemned the alleged attack on members of the Tobin Chieftaincy House in Finima Community on Saturday, describing it as a direct affront to peace and communal harmony.
The attack, reportedly carried out by unidentified persons, prompted the swift intervention of the council boss, who visited the scene in the company of security agencies to assess the situation. He expressed deep concern over the development and appealed for calm among residents while lawful measures are taken to address the matter.
To forestall further crisis and foster reconciliation, Pepple announced that a peace meeting would be held on Monday, September 29, 2025, at the Government Lodge by 7:00 p.m.
