Ugwuja said a native who understands the culture, language, and geographical terrains of the forest ought to have been given the job.


“In the first place, does this commander understand the indigenous language and culture of the Igbo people?" he queried. "Even if he does, this job calls for patriotism and passion. An Enugu person who is committed to security will carry out this assignment more diligently.”
