Gov Nwifuru Sacks Commissioner, Withdraws Monarch’s Certificate Over Ebonyi Killings

Описание: The Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has dismissed all government appointees, dissolved community development union leadership, and village heads in the Amasiri community, Afikpo Local Government Area of the state, with immediate effect.

He also dethroned the traditional ruler of the community.

Nwifuru’s action followed the violent attack on Okporojo Community, Oso Edda, in Edda Local Government Area of the state, during which four people were beheaded
and their heads taken away.

The governor announced the sweeping sanctions on Saturday during an on-the-spot assessment visit to Okporojo where he addressed residents, community leaders, security agencies, and government officials.


Nwifuru, who was visibly angry over the killings, described the attack as most unfortunate and said he never expected such a level of brutality to occur in the state.

“So on this note, for the time being, the development union executive and all of the villages in Amasiri communities are hereby dissolved. The traditional ruler certificate is thereby withdrawn all the government appointees from Amasiri are thereby sacked,” the governor said.

“All the government appointees from the management committee down to the commissioner, anyone from Amasiri, are hereby sacked. All the village heads in all Amasiri villages in all the autonomous communities are hereby removed.

“For the time being, we will do more. And we will show everybody why we’re government”, the governor added.

He assured the affected community that the state government would decisively deal with those responsible, stressing that the lives lost would not be in vain.
