Governor David Nweze Umahi has directed the immediate arrest and prosecution of the State APC Chairman, Chief Stanley Emegha and the Candidate for Afikpo North/Afikpo South Federal Constituency, Chief Eni Uduma Chima for their roles in the murder of three persons in Ekoli Edda.

Governor Umahi gave the directive during an on-the-spot assessment of the level of damages in the area.

The Governor also directed the Commissioner of Police to arrest all those connected with the carnage and ensure they face justice.

The Governor while announcing the suspension of all social gatherings in Edda until normalcy returned, urged the Commissioner of Police to saturate the area with security presence to forestall further breakdown of law and order.

As at the time of filing this report, the whole Ekoli Edda has been cordoned off by the combined team of the Police, Army and the Ebubeagu Security outfit.

How APC Supporters Clashed In Ebonyi State, Killed Policeman, Two Others (Photo) | #IgbereTV

Fresh details have emerged of how a police Orderly attached to Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State, his Younger brother, Eme Orji and a youth leader identified as Eseni Kalu Orji were killed in a supremacy clash that ensued between his supporters and that of Hon Eni Uduma Chima who is the APC candidate for Afikpo North/Afikpo South Federal Constituency, on Monday evening.

IGBERE TV gathered that the angry youth equally set ablaze the village house of Okoro-Emegha who doubles as the State Security Consultant, his Toyota Hilux van and a Toyota SIENNA space bus belonging to the Police Command’s Tactical Teams.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ebonyi State Command, SP Chris Anyanwu, who confirmed the incident on Tuesday, in a statement said the Tactical Teams of the Command despatched to Ekoli-Edda to take control of the situation, were also ambushed by the youth of the area at the village entrance, but the operatives manouevred unhurt.

Anyanwu said the bodies of the three deceased persons have been evacuated and deposited at different morgues, adding that a total of eight suspects had been arrested among the irate youth while others were still at large.

He further disclosed that the two political gladiators at the middle of the whole imbroglio, Messrs Eni Uduma Chima and Okoro-Emegha, who hail from the same community, had been placed on protective custody to douse the tension in the area.

The statement reads: “Ebonyi State Police Command is presently investigating a case of Murder, Arson and Malicious Damages to Government properties and individuals’ resulting from apparent struggle for supremacy and who controls the area politically among two notable political stalwarts in Ekoli-Edda, Afikpo South LGA of the State.

“At about 1630hrs of 26/12/2022, a day popularly known as “Boxing Day”, a distress call was received that sporadic shootings and killings were going on at Ekoli-Edda between Ebubeagu operatives who accompanied their boss, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, the State’s Chief Security Consultant, and another group of men purported to be loyalists to the immediate past Council Chairman, Hon Dr Chima Eni, who is also the APC flag-bearer for National House of Representative in the area.

“It was further gathered that the open shoot-out was not far-fetched from previous grudges existing among the two factions. In the process, a youth leader identified as Eseni Kalu Egwu was fatally wounded, later rushed to a neighboring hospital at Ohafia, Abia State where he was confirmed dead.

Angered by his death, the youth of the area mobilized and went on rampage, killing Eme Orji, a younger brother of Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha and an Inspector of Police attached to the Special Protection Unit (SPU). The irate youth equally set ablaze the village house of the Security Consultant, his Toyota Hilux van and a Toyota SIENNA space bus belonging to the Police Command’s Tactical Teams.

“When the Tactical Teams were despatched to Ekoli-Edda to take control of the situation, they were ambushed by the youth of the area at the village entrance. However, the operatives manouevred unhurt.

“The bodies of the three deceased persons have been evacuated and deposited at different morgues. A total of eight suspects were arrested among the irate youth while others are still at large.

“Also, the two political gladiators at the middle of the whole imbroglio, who happen to hail from the same community, have been placed on protective custody to douse the tension in the area, while a scrupulous investigation has been activated by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in-charge of SCIID here in Ebonyi State.

“The Commissioner of Police, Ebonyi State Police Command, CP Aliyu Garba psc (+) who has visited the scene, advises that everyone affected in one way or the other in this ugly development should keep calm as he wades into the matter, please.”

Misleading headline by frustrated wailers of course. This is an isolated case of foolishness and highhandedness by the state’s APC chairman and his friends; and is being treated as such. OP stop convulsing for nothing.

superCleanworks:

Show me where in the original report Umahi expressed the concerns in his title. OP is just clowning

He states:

The PDP did not give Atiku ticket. He bought it with money. Even the southerners could not resist his Dollar. And that is the capacity the party needed. His choice of candidate was based on whom he can control or manipulate. He knew that he will not be able to control Wike.

Bola Tinubu bought the APC ticket with money and threat. There was need to keep to agreement, else the Cat will be let loose. And his choice of candidate was based on who is ruthless enough to champion the Northern Muslim votes.

The supporters of the above two are the long term structures that have kept us in the dark while the world is making progress. And they want the evil to continue. They use their structures to collapse the national structures. And they are boasting about those structures even to our faces.

Obi picked Labour Party ticket based on his integrity, financial prudence and outstanding leadership prowess. He also went for Datti who possess similar qualities. He needed someone who will look into his eye and say no. Because he acknowledged that he doesn't know it all. He believes in team work.

His supporters are the people without structures, the downtrodden, the poor masses, the beggers and the labourers, those that are cursed to Labour till death, those that the structures are trampling upon.
He is not standing for himself.
He is standing for the masses.
He is not the one contesting.
The masses are contesting through him.
He is not standing for any specific tribe or religion.
He is standing for all tribes and religions.
He is the hope of the common man.
With him, Nigeria will be great again.
