Worried by the gruesome murder of His Royal Majesty Eze Igboke Ewa, a popular traditional ruler in Ezza North Council Area of Ebonyi State, Governor David Umahi has deployed security personnel to arrest and prosecute the killers.
Governor Umahi said that the move is to forestall further killings in the area.
In a live broadcast on Ebonyi Broadcasting Corporation Umahi warned political gladiators to stop inciting the youths against their people by making a statement that can cause the crisis.
He noted that he was informed that the king was killed because the late Ewa was supporting a particular political party.
He explained that democracy is all about making different choices, “I was called by the Son of the late Igboke Ewa that their father has been murdered by unknown people, Immediately, I deployed security to that area to fish out the perpetrators of the dastardly act. I was shocked on what could have motivated the killing of such an old Man who was in his eighties,” Umahi said.
“I pray that God should reveal the Killers of the King,” Umahi added.
The Governor cautioned some security personnel who allegedly connived with imported thugs by the opposition political parties to rig elections in favour of the opposition in the State during the last Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections.
