Governor Umahi: The Assassins Of The Ebonyi Monarch Are Searching For His Children.

 

  • Gunmen are allegedly targeting the children of Ezeogo Igboke Ewa, the traditional ruler of Umuezekoha community in Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

  • On Monday night, armed men who were thought to be political thugs shot and killed the king, who was also the state's chairman of the Ezza North Traditional Rulers Council.

The deceased son told the governor about the occurrence while speaking to him from his hiding place, according to the state's governor, David Umahi, who verified the development during a press conference at the New Government House in Centenary City, Abakaliki.

“The son called me from where he was hiding and said gunmen had killed his father and were also looking for his children. I had to immediately send the police, the Army and the men from the Department of State Services to take over their compound and rescue them, the governor added.

"I tried to find out more about him, and when I did, he said that his father had supported the candidate of one party, and that this had not gone over well with another party, and that this was thought to be the possible cause of his death. The Commissioner of Police has my orders to find and apprehend the criminals and those who support them.

 The governor asserted that the monarch's murder may have been carried out for political reasons and emphasized that no life was worth losing for the sake of a position of power.

"This is a man that is above 80 years; a man well respected beyond the shores of this state and just for political reasons, the man was shot dead. It is so disturbing and it is important that the security agents do the needful and arrest further killings in the state,” he added.

Umahi praised the deceased royal father as a kind man who had worked to further the state's unity and development.

The News Agency of Nigeria in Abakaliki on Tuesday was informed of the occurrence by the command, according to SP Onome Onovwakpayeya, the state's police spokesperson.

Yeah, she answered, "we are aware of the killing and investigation has commenced to fish out the perpetrators of such heinous crime.

George did a fantastic job, according to Hamilton, who is sitting in the second row. It is clear that the car is capable. "I just don't feel like this car belongs to me. I've tried everything, but I just can't become comfortable with it. I'm at a bit of a loss."
