Transfer pregnant woman’s killers, Ebonyi community begs IG

“We, the people frown at the unpopular and unacceptable move by the Ebonyi State Government to release these suspects from police custody without trial and proper arraignment in a competent court of law.

“Their idea is to release these criminals before the elections for them to continue their killing sprees and we, the people of Edda, reject this move, because it’s against our peace and collective existence as a people. We, therefore, demand the transfer of this matter and the case of these suspects to the Force Headquarters, Abuja, for proper trial and adjudication.”

Recall that a police inspector, Festus Akpan, two youths and a pregnant woman were killed between December 26, 2022, and January 1, 2023, in the community by suspected hoodlums. When contacted, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, Ofoke, described the accusation as a rumour, adding that all those involved in the killings would face the law.

He said, “Once we get the file, we will vet it and at the appropriate time, any person found wanting in respect of the crime committed in Edda will go for it. I cannot do that . It’s a mere allegation. Whosoever committed the offence will face the consequences.”All rights reserved.
