Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has condemned the killing of an indigene of Ebonyi State named Linus Ogbee (m) 45 years by suspected Fulani Herdsmen in Ilion Camp in Akure North local government area of Ondo state.
Accordingly, Umahi called on the security agencies to investigate the ugly incident and prosecute the culprits.
Umahi made the appeal in Abakaliki on Tuesday while inspecting projects undertaken by the administration, describing the incident as the height of barbarism and called for a proper investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the victim.
While lamenting the wanton loss of lives and property as a result of the activities of the Herdsmen, Governor Umahi commended the police in Ondo state for quick intervention which led to arrest of some suspects in connection to the killing and called for proper investigation.
He opined,”“I call for full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of one of our brothers, Linus Ogbee who until his death was a father of seven and a farmer based in Ilion in Akure North council area of Ondo state,” he said.
“Those behind his death should be fished out and brought to justice, it is very heartbreaking that our brother was killed by suspected blood sucking herdsmen whose sanctity for human life amount to nothing,” he lamented.
Umahi condoled with the family of the deceased and promised to assist them, adding that he would do everything within his powers to ensure that justice be done and those behind the dastardly act brought to book.
“While we mourn the death of our fellow compatriot, let me reassure
Ebonyians that this administration is committed to all campaign
