The Director General of South East Governors Forum, Uche Ekwunife, has expressed her dismay over the murder of a community leader in Umuoji community, Idemili North Local Government Area of the state, Silas Onyima.

Expressing her condolences Ekwunife unequivocally condemned the killing of the President General describing it as tragic and senseless.

Mr. Silas Onyima, the President-General of the community, had been gruesomely murdered on Friday night by unknown persons in his home.

His lifeless body was left naked in a pool of blood in a bathtub in his house.

Urging the Police and other security agencies to bring the perpetrators to book , the 9th Senate Lawmaker said Onyima was a pillar of strength and a beacon of hope for the people of Umuoji. She added that his unwavering dedication to the betterment of the community and his selfless service will forever be remembered.

In a statement on Sunday, Ekwunife said the act of the unknown assailants was cowardly stressing that it is alien for Igbos to take the life of their kinsmen.



“His untimely demise is not only a loss to his family and Umuoji community but to the entire state of Anambra. It is not the culture of Igbos to kill their kinsmen.

“In the face of this appalling tragedy, I urge all citizens to remain vigilant and proactive in ensuring the safety and security of our neighbourhoods.

“We must stand united against the forces of darkness that seek to disrupt our peace and harmony. It is incumbent upon each and every one of us to mind the company we keep, businesses we transact and report any suspicious activities or movements to the relevant authorities promptly.

“Security is everybody’s business. The government cannot do it alone. It is difficult for the government to provide security for all citizens without sharing relevant information.

“The security and well-being of every citizen is paramount, and we must work together with the law enforcement agencies to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous crime. Justice must prevail for Silas Onyima and his grieving family, and those responsible must be brought to account for their actions.

“I therefore extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Silas Onyima, Umuoji community and the good people of Anambra State.

The UGM seem to have taken to political killings now that the Monday lock down ritual is no more fashionable.


This killing is one too many.

People will just wake up and kill another person and nothing will happen... Nigeria Police will just run up and down and relax... Nothing nothing... Police will just wake up and threaten to kill a citizen that nothing will happen and true true nothing will happen... They will just wake up and kidnap somebody and Ransome will be paid and the money will be received and the case will close down... I don't even understand this country at all.... Tufiakwa. Everything is just somehow.

May God deliver us

I remember when this man said the whole ibo people are ready to postrate and beg to become president of Nigeria.

He is lucky they didn't consume his flesh and bone in d cannibalistic republic
