Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to security agencies in the state to produce those that killed the Chairman of Ogbete Main Market Traders Association, OMMATA, Chief Stephen Aniagu.
Governor Mbah, disturbed by the incident, vowed that no one would go scot-free after committing such a heinous crime in the state.
Recall that some unknown gunmen killed Aniagu on Saturday evening at the outskirts of Enugu city.
In his reaction to the tragic incident, the governor said, “My heart grieves over the brutal murder of the Chairman of OMMATA, the late Chief Stephen Aniagu. This is a sad loss, not only to OMATTA as a body but also to the entire state.
“In the meantime, I have directed security agencies in the state to produce his killers within 48 hours. As we have always maintained, and every merchant of death or criminal in the state ought to know by now, that we have demonstrated the capacity to bring them to book.
“We have the will, technology, and resources to pursue, track down, overtake, and defeat such workers of wickedness.”
“Therefore, those who committed this atrocity have bitten more than they can chew.
“They have murdered sleep, hence neither they nor the government and security agencies will sleep until all the perpetrators are captured and justice served in accordance with the law sooner than later.
“I urge Ndi Enugu to go about their lawful businesses, for the security of lives and property remains our priority as a government. Those who have decided to test our resolve will meet their waterloo like others before them,” Mbah stated.
