The National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers has condemned claims by the Minister of Information, denying the killing of a member of the union, Chibuisi Chikezie Okameme.

The 26-year old petrol station worker was killed on Sunday, the 5th of April, by a mobile policeman in Abia State, while discharging his duties and joining the frontline of the struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the National President of NUPENG, Williams Akporeha, the union says it takes exception to the position of the minster during the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 meeting and describes it as an attempt to twist the fact of the incident.

Mr Akporeha stated that the policeman in question is currently in detention and has made confessional statement to committing the act.

He said the union demands immediate retraction of the claim by the minster, prosecution of the policeman involved and payment of compensation to the family of the deceased by the Federal Government.

They want the demands to be met within seven days, starting from Thursday, the 23rd of April.

The minister's name has sold him out as a chronic liar and so I find it a total waste of time and data dwelling on a person who's mother's had peered far into his future and fittingly decorated him with arguably the most appropriate name tag I've ever seen. He should continue....

Meanwhile the police commission has to sit up and be more accountable to it's responsibilities. All these unfortunate and barbaric shooting spree that has hit the bar line during this lockdown has to experience a sharp decline if not totally stopped. Human life isn't that cheap..

Ozugo Biko!

Its like the police in the eastern part of this country are more insane than the ones in another part becos they've killed more in that region more than the covid19 disease.
