ANAMBRA: WE WILL PUNISH ERRING SASA OPERATIVES.(PHOTOS).#PRESS RELEASE

 _Media Release_


WE WILL PUNISH ERRING SASA OPERATIVES



I have been alerted to a viral video on the arrest and manhandling of one Wilfred Ezike, also known as Mgbiligba by SASA operatives. I really feel bad that an incident of that nature took place. I have felt bad all through the day since somebody posted the video to me.


It is true that some people are unrepentantly committed to various criminalities on the basis of which innocent citizens remain in miserable conditions running their legitimate day to day life, but we must handle human beings according to prescriptions of the law, no matter their offence. Our Government is law abiding, and that is why we must fish out the SASA operatives involved in the incident under reference and punish them accordingly. 


It is also true that we are resolute to stamp out "agberos," but that must happen within confines of the laws of the land. Interestingly, people have been commenting and reacting. This shows life in an organised democracy. Some of them allege various levels of atrocities committed by Wilfred Ezike for which he ought to have been more severely manhandled and brought to book while counter narratives insist that he should not be manhandled at all. For me, and the Government of Anambra State, nothing justifies brutality, and that is why we will punish the erring operatives. 


According to records published in various platforms, Wilfred Ezike had been in and out of prison custody for alleged murder of innocent people while "with his boys, extorting money from them. He is said to be a major kingpin of toutism in whose hands people have gone through hell. 


We were informed that there was widespread jubilation among Onitsha traders and 'keke' operators when they heard about his arrest. They alleged that he was dreaded, but  that (if true) does not imply that SASA should not follow the law in dealing with him. 


Other comments are that SASA operatives may have been enraged because, according to them, he wrote a petition against them falsely alleging that they killed somebody along Niger Street, Onitsha. SASA was further quoted as saying that he did that to commence his effort to cripple its job so as to continue his unholly business. Police investigation is said to support SASA's position that the petition was unfounded. 


General comments have also expressed opinions that Wilfred had been prominent in fighting previous administrations to a standstill in their effort to curb the State of touts and their activities.

                           According to the Araba of Osogboland Chief Yemi Elebuibon,debunk the rumors that the new Ooni will eat the heart of the late Ooni of Ife as custom demands,so he cleared the air when he recently said that ''The heart of the late king would not be fed to the next Ooni.The eating of the heart of a departed King by an incoming one belonged to the past.It no longer exists.People still make this insinuation because many are barred from witnessing the burial of a king.What the incoming king will eat is the heart of an animal and not that of a human.Nobody will be buried with the Ooni.Nobody would be killed for any form o sacrifice''.Thank God he clarified the part that no one will be buried with the Ooni,because the rumors going round is that the Sarun,otherwise known as Abobakun,is on the run,to escape being buried with the late Ooni of Ife.Lowa Adimula of Ife,Oba Joseph Ijaodola,who is the Head o...
