Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, OYC, has condemned the recent assassination of two prominent Citizens in Enugu declaring support for Governor Ugwuanyi to arrest the situation.
The governor Thursday held a crucial security meeting Heads of Security Agencies in the state at the Government House, Enugu.
At the end of the closed door meeting the Governor proceeded with the security chiefs to some forests and escape routes of the yet-to-be identified gunmen, across four local government areas, where they took on-the-spot far reaching decisions aimed at tackling the challenges squarely.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Equipment Development Initiative, SEDI, Prof. Samuel Ndubuisi and the Managing Director of Autoease, a body repairs Outfit, Mr. Ifeanyi Okeke, were recently shot dead by unknown gunmen in Enugu.
Speaking to journalists on the development, the President-General of the OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said the murder of the federal government official was most dehumanizing and shocking.
“We are in deep pains over the gruesome murder of Prof. Simon Ndubuisi in the most horrible manner. It is so sad that this is happening barely two days after another young man, the CEO of AutoEase was cut in his prime by unknown gunmen.
“This growing trend of crime in our dear state is totally unacceptable; we are in deep pain because Enugu State is not known for this. Who did we offend that has chosen to visit this terror on us?
“We are asking the entire Enugu youths to say no to these mindless killings; it will do us no good,” Okwu declared.
While declaring that they were behind Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in search for the restoration of normalcy in the State, the Ohanaeze Youth leader added that, “Enugu is the most peaceful State and we should not let anyone rob us of that very important toga.
“I urge all the youths of Enugu State to stand with the Governor in this very challenging time.
“May I also call on security agencies to step up action in securing the people of Enugu State; they cannot continue to be taken unaware while crimes of this magnitude are being perpetrated in our dear State. They must have to rise to the occasion,” Okwu stated.
