May 5, 2008: The brutal murder of Konyak CAO Man-i and his guard L/Corpl. Shangti after their abduction on 2 May in Dimapur has come as a great shock to the people of Konyak Region in general and to the family members in particular. An acts of cowardice on the part of the Unification ruffians who never compromise themselves to follow humanized norms to bring about Naga Unification. We regret the fact that such group has come to exist to cause irreparable damnation to the Naga’s sincere approach to unification.
In the face of the unification gang a dastardly villain of the Nagas, the Konyak National Workers under the able leadership of Isak, Khadao and Muivah strongly condemn the killing, and woes betide the unification gang forcommitting such unprecedented trails of crimes in the name of unification.
The Konyak National Workers share the grief and sorrow of Man-i and Shangti and the Naga nation will never forget the service rendered by them. The Konyaks shall never be cowed down but shall stick to any approach that encompassed human respect and norms.
The cowards are the devil and we shall except no devilish groups to lead the Unification..
