Recently, women from different villages in the council gathered at Ogrute, the council headquarters to march against insecurity. Miffed by the protest, which they alleged was staged without police permission, soldiers from 82 Division Enugu, who had been on special assignment in Enugu for some time now, descended on the hapless women and tortured them, as was captured in a video clip that has gone viral on social media, generating bad blood for the army and other government security agents operating in the area.

Insisting that the time had come to remove soldiers and “other malevolent security agents” from Igbo-Eze North, “as their presence no longer provides any assurance of safety for communities in the local government”, THE SPEAKERS noted that “there is no tenable reason any more to keep soldiers and other malevolent security agents in IGN.”

“We demand an investigation to know who ordered the onslaught on the women,” THE SPEAKERS stressed, adding: “We believe that that will help to stop such impunity from the forces on rural people.”
