Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Ebonyi Police Command on Thursday vowed to fish out the killers of a school principal and his teacher.<\/p>\n

The Principal of Nkaleke Echara Secondary School, Ojiegbe, Mr Simon Ominyi, and his teacher, Mr Moses Nwibo, were both murdered in the school by hoodlums on October 13.<\/p>\n

The Police Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, told NAN in Abakaliki that the command had commenced an investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n

Onovwakpoyeya said, \u201cWe are aware of the incident and police are in top gear to find out the root of the killing in order to bring the perpetrators to book.<\/p>\n

The state chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Mr Francis Okorie, condemned the dastardly act against his members.<\/p>\n

Okorie described the incident as \u201cshocking and wicked\u201d, adding that it was an embarrassment to the society.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very bad for a sane man or woman to kill a teacher, who only works with chalk and pen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe condemn the act. The cane we are using is just to correct the schoolchildren,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that the union had yet to ascertain the reason behind the killing.<\/p>\n

Also, the state chairman of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Mr Chidi Igboji, said it was a \u201cshameful act\u201d to kill teachers.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, they were gruesomely murdered in the line of duty at Nkaleke. This is too bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the state government and security agencies to investigate the matter and ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book,\u201d Igboji said.<\/p>\n
