He explained that the irate youths of the community attempted to lynch the suspect before the intervention of the Police who rescued him, saying that he is now cooling off in police custody.

In an interview, the Special Adviser to Governor Willie Obiano on Disability Matters, Barrister Chuks Ezewuzie, described the incident as very unfortunate and a sacrilege, stating that the victim was a vibrant leader in disability community, and a blind person who can never hurt a soul.

Barrister Ezewuzie who is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Anambra Disability Rights Commission, said that the Office of the Governor on Disability Matters got the report and swung into action immediately, assuring to assist the family, praying that justice would prevail.

On his part, the Coordinator of Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities, Anambra State, Comrade Ugochukwu Okeke, condemned the heinous act and called on security agencies and other relevant authorities to wade into the matter as JONAPWD would not rest until justice prevails.
