Ohaneze Condemns Kano Killing, Demands Justice
The leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo has vehemently
condemned the beheading of a Kano State-based trader, Mrs. Bridget Agbaheme, on
spurious allegation of blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed, describing the
incident as unfortunate and inimical to the unity of the country.
In an exclusive interview with journalists in Owerri,
capital of Imo State, the President-General of Ohaneze, Chief Enwo Gary
Igari-wey, lamented the unfortunate incident and tasked the law enforcement
agencies and the Kano State governor to live up to the occasion by bringing the
culprits to book.
Igari-wey, who was in Owerri to attend the 5th
anniversary of Chief Rochas Okorocha's administration, said arrangement had
been concluded for the delegation of Ohaneze to visit Kano State to see things
for themselves and take a proper decision on the matter.
According to him, Ohaneze completely condemns the
incident, adding that: “We are sending a delegation to Kano where we would get
the whole facts on first hand basis and from there, we will know what to do next.
He however, commended the law enforcement agents
for the arrests of at least three culprits and demanded the apprehension of the
rest and bring them to book.
"We also commend the governor of Kano State for
quick intervention and the arrest of about three culprits. We wish that this
would serve as a deterrent to others, so that this type of thing would not
happen again. The Ohaneze also commend the Igbo community in Kano on the mature
manner they had conducted themselves so far," he said.
