They are Livinus Makwe (Ohaozara, Ivo, Onicha), Sylvester Ogbaga(Abakaliki/Izzi), Chukwuma Nwazunku (Ebonyi/Ohaukwu) and Edwin Nwonu (Ezza North/Ishielu).

Reacting to the motion, The Chairman of ALGON Ebonyi State, Princess Nkechinyere Iyioku who spoke on behalf of otgersmaintained that Ebubeagu Security Network is a Local Vigilante Team established and duly backed up by Law, adding that the outfit was not just a creation of Ebonyi State but cuts across the entire States of the region.

She insisted that no amount of propaganda or motion would stop the good works being carried out by the out fit.

"EbubeAgu has come to stay. Our people cannot go back to the old days of incessant attacks by hoodlums, bandits and criminal elements. Anybody calling for the scrapping of EbubeAgu is an enemy of the state.
