Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The youth wing of apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has condemned in strong terms the alleged killing of seven wedding guests by Ebubeagu security outfit in Imo State.<\/p>\n

Ebubeagu is a state security outfit.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST learnt that the ugly incident occurred on Sunday when the victims were returning to their community in Otulu, Oru East Local Government Area of the State from Awomama in the neighbouring Oru West LGA, before the security operatives opened fire on them.<\/p>\n

Both the President General of Otulu community, Nnamdi Agbor and the Imo State Police Command confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n

In another development, at least 15 persons were said to have been abducted by herdsmen in Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State.<\/p>\n

Reacting through a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday, the National President of OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said he was saddened that the lives of promising young men were cut short by reckless Ebubeagu security operatives.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cour hearts are filled with rage over this mindless and reckless killing of innocent people by Ebubeagu security operatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is inconceivable that a local security outfit could just open fire on armed civilians for no clear reason. We are even more sad owing to the grave silence of the Imo State Government days after that brutal killing.<\/p>\n

\u201cNdigbo are very concerned that nothing good has ever come out of the government of Hope Uzodinma ever since he came to power. It has been one form of crisis or the other and now this strange action by the government-controlled Ebubeagu. His reign has only brought sorrow to the people of the State.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Ebonyi State, there have been reported cases of the use of Ebubeagu by State forces to settle scores; now, the onslaught appears to have spread to Imo State. This is totally unacceptable and should be condemned by all men of goodwill.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand for a private enquiry over this matter and though no life could be paid for, adequate compensation must be made to the families of the victims,\u201d Okwu declared.<\/p>\n

He also stated that \u201cthe continuous virulent unprovoked attack on the residents of Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State by Fulani herdsmen can no longer be condoned.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe find it hard to understand why the security agencies cannot put an end to this mayhem, which has led to the loss of several lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, therefore, calls on Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi\u2019s led administration to find an immediate end to this carnage. The primary purpose of the government is to provide security to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time has come for the government to take decisive action and restore normanly to the troubled Isi-Uzo Council Area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also urging the people of the Area to begin to explore measures of defending themselves because Ndigbo are not known to the cowards,\u201d the OYC President further stated.<\/p>\n
