Wakanda.ng Reports that Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state has condemned the recent killing of the former member of the Abakaliki Capital Teritory Development Board and Secretary of the Elders Council, Chief Geoffery Mgbada[left][/left] and called for thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

Umahi in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Emmanuel Uzor described the death of the elder statesman as callous and ordered full investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death in the hands of thugs who paraded themselves as Vehicle Inspection Officers.

Part of the statement read “the Governor on hearing about the death of Chief Mgbada expressed great sadness and ordered the Commissioner of Police to arrest and prosecute the suspects who paraded themselves as VIO Officers. Let it be known that the Governor in a town-hall meeting with Ebonyians proscribed all task-force agents working under any guise using the state government as cover”

“In the proscription order, the Governor also dissolved all revenue and tax agents in the state at all levels with a promise to convoke another town hall meeting where a new tax and other revenue will be deliberated and agreed upon and the Governor is yet to convene this meeting before this ugly incident “
“The Governor is saddened by this careless death and wishes to dissociate the state government from the illegal activities of the VIO and other task force agents in the state and directs for immediate arrest and prosecution of such illegal tax or revenue agents “
He further commiserated with the family of the deceased and vowed to ensure that justice is done while urging the members of the public to resist illegal revenue agents as the only body legally permitted to collect revenue on behalf of the government is the newly inaugurated Board of Internal Revenue.

It will be recalled that Chief Geoffery Mgbada was allegedly killed in the early hours of Tuesday by suspected members of Vehicle Inspection Officers, VIO who were on illegal duty along Presco-Ezza road, Abakaliki.

The deceased who was said to be driving with his wife was intercepted by the VIO and in the cause of their illegal duties, argument ensued which led to one of the VIO agents to push him and he felled and hit his head on the concrete road and died.

However, two members of the team were immediately arrested by the Anti Kidnapping Unit of the Nigeria Police while the leader of the illegal team, an old man was equally arrested.

The body of the deceased has been deposited at the mortuary at the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki.

So you're not aware that devil relocated to Nigeria since June 2015.

The value of life was worth close to zero in this country and we are crying foul. Now the value of life has fallen below zero what do we do?

Misleading headline.. He was pushed, fell and hit his head on the concrete, consequently died... No stoning

Scamming demonic thief

This are part of the reason Ambode removed them from all road belongs to Lagos state.

Pls why are all these confusion in Nigeria for goodness sake? How many vehicle inspection officer do we need to be on the road my fellow Nigerians? Why do we love disgracing ourselves like these?

With my travelling experience all across some African countries and outside the shore of Africa its only in Nigeria a country of over 190million heads where you will see police checking vehicles, Road Safety checking vehicles, VIO checking vehicle, Lagos LATSMA checking vehicles, Customs on the road checking vehicles, Civil Defense checking vehicles etc soon boy scout and Man O war will soon join how did we got to these embarrassing state as a nation

Nairaland is truly shïtty. What kinda mod moves a page to the front-page without going through the content, to ascertain the best title to the page.



It's so sad that many force agents in the country behave more like lower animals.

It's a pity a life is gone!

Fellow Nigerians ,Nairaland ,Which Government Agency can one Report these VIO Officers to , They are so mean ,Insultive and Calous .Here in Ogun State ,Idiroko Office of the VIO called Ile Eja ,All they do there is to Go out on the Express to stop Vehicle owners to Siphon money from them ,they do not Care to Advise or Pardon a first offender ,If Paradventure you are Unable to Part a Bribe to them next thing is to Drag you forcefully down from your Vehicle without minding what happened to you ,then drive your Vehicle to there office ,They don't book some people but they tell Vehicle owners to bring 20k ,15k ,10k to get there Vehicles released you need to see them when they eat , especially when they Patronise Beer Parlours with different Women .These VIO Officials Excesses should be Checked .They don't mostly make money for the Government but for themselves
