Ebonyi State Governor Orders Arrest Of Hoodlums Who Allegedly Inserted Hot-Iron Inside Private Part Of Local Government Vice Chairman

Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has directed the Commissioner of
Police, Mr Awosola Awotunde, to fish out the criminal suspects, who
allegedly inserted a hot-iron inside the private part of the Vice
Chairman of Ikwo Local Government Area of the state.

Governor Umahi, who gave the directive on Thursday, when the new
police boss paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House,
Abakiliki. Umahi, expressed bitterness over the incident, and described
it as “barbaric”.

“The hoodlums inserted a hot-iron inside the private part of the vice
chairman, while they cut the tendons of some men in the area. I have
demanded for the immediate arrest of the perpetrators and would never
allow the matter to go untreated. I will follow the matter up to any
level, even reporting it to President Muhammadu Buhari because the
victims were actually kidnapped,” he said.

The governor said that he always insisted on fairness and justice to
all and had never abused his office to order that anyone be punished
unjustly.

“I have always maintained that whether it is the Peoples Democratic
Party or All Progressive Congress, among others, the life of every human
being is important to us.
“I hate to see blood and your officers can attest that I have never supported evil,” he said.

Umahi said that he had always propagated the philosophy “that all
perpetrators of evil must be arrested and prosecuted, even if they are
my brothers or sisters.”
He pledged to cooperate with the new CP but insisted that his work would only be made tedious, “if a man is made a woman.”

“Where there is fairness, there is no crisis as someone without a gun
can neutralise another with a gun by insisting on his right, which
should not be matched upon.
“The main opposition party in the state boasts it would write the
election result and use the federal might on us but I declare that we
pay the federal might.
“Everybody owns the federal might and the present Inspector-General of
Police and the Director-General of the Department of State Service (DSS)
do not break the law.
“We have actually prepared for this election with anti-terrorism
trainings to guard against intimidation of the common man in the state,”
the governor said.
