Herdsmen’s killings in Enugu: Hon. Ngwu calls for thorough investigation by Police

A member of the House of Representatives and Chairman, House Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development, Hon. Princess Stella Ngwu, has called on the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase and other security agents to immediately embark on a holistic investigation of the circumstances that led to the massacre of the defenseless people of Ukpabi/Nimbo in Enugu state by Fulani herdsmen.

Princess Ngwu, who represents the area in the Federal House said in a statement signed by her senior legislative aide, Kingsley Awuka, that the senseless killing of human beings and wanton destruction of properties were premeditated and unprovoked and should be totally condemned.

According to the Honorable member who is currently attending an International Legislative Training at the Harvard University, United States of America, “I am pained by the sad event. I commiserate with the victims of the attack, families and relations of those that were killed and the entire people of Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area. I also urge the people of the affected area to be calm and law abiding, as every necessary step shall be taken to track the perpetrators and bring them to face the law.

“I am using this opportunity to call on the Inspector-General of Police and other relevant security agents and stake holders to immediately embark on a holistic investigation of the situation with a view to bringing the culprits to book and forestalling future occurrence.”

She, therefore, assured that a constructive engagement of the relevant stake-holders shall be sustained to find ways of ameliorating the sufferings of all the people, especially women and children, who have been internally displaced as a result of the tragic incident and prayed God to heal the wounded, console the bereaved and grant eternal repose to the souls lost.
