Aba Killing: "I'm Shocked After Reading Lai Mohammed's Statement" - Gov. Ikpeazu


By Wisdom Nwedene, Umuahia

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, on Friday, expressed shock after reading a statement credited to the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed over recent killing in Aba.


Igbere TV had reported that Lai Mohammed said the the Nigerian Police is not responsible for the alleged killing of a petrol attendant in the State.


Meanwhile, in a statement made available to Igbere TV on Friday by Abia State Commissioner for Information, John Okiyi, Ikpeazu demanded for justice for the shot Aba petrol attendant.

Ikpeazu revealed that Inspector Osas Atsu of Ohuru Isimiri Police Division, Aba, allegedly shot and killed the late petrol attendant, Mr Chibuisi Okameme, of Green Mac Filling Station, New Umuahia Road, Aba, by aiming and firing live bullets at him in broad daylight and in the presence of many shocked eyewitnesses.

He noted that the police authorities in the state are currently detaining the suspect in preparation for prosecution after due orderly room trial.

The statement reads,


"Our attention has been drawn to a statement in the media credited to the Honorable Minister of Infornation, Alhaji Lai Muhammed, as published in some national newspapers to the effect that the late petrol attendant in Aba, Mr Chibuisi Okameme, believed to be a victim of extra-judicial killing, was not killed by a police man."

"The Honorable Minister was quoted to have said, among other things that, “What happened was that the policeman hit a Keke Napep and while the people were protesting, another oncoming vehicle hit the petrol attendant leading to his death”.

"Nothing can be further from the truth!"

"We wish to state categorically that information available to us suggests that one Inspector Osas Atsu of Ohuru Isimiri Police Division, Aba, allegedly shot and killed the late petrol attendant, Mr Chibuisi Okameme, of Green Mac Filling Station, New Umuahia Road, Aba, by aiming and firing live bullets at him in broad daylight and in the presence of many shocked eyewitnesses."

"The police authorities in the state are currently detaining the suspect in preparation for prosecution after due orderly room trial. We are therefore shocked to read the statement credited to the Honorable Minister, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria and published by several leading national newspapers. We believe that the Honorable Minister of Information may either have been misinformed or misquoted on the true state of affairs."

"Abia State Government wishes to call on the Police authorities to expedite the arraignment of the alleged murderer of Citizen Okameme as we will not accept any cover up or conspiracy to do same from any quarters. May we reiterate that nothing short of justice for the grieving family and friends of the late hard working young man will be acceptable to us."

"We also wish to call on the Honorable Minister to cross check facts of the matter with the police authorities and immediately issue the necessary corrigendum to avoid being seen as part of a potential plot to cover up a matter that is certainly of public interest and which also involves the painful loss of a human life through obvious abuse of firearms."

"It is already a matter of public knowledge that the sad murder of Citizen Okameme is one too many involving trigger happy armed security agents in our state including the unfortunate murder of Mr Chimaobi Nworgu of Amaise Umuokereke Ngwa Village in Obingwa LGA."

"We are however consoled that our insistence on justice for Late Chimaobi led to the dismissal and trial of the army officer involved. We will also not relent until justice is done in the instant case and others involving alleged extra judicial killings in Abia State."

No need for accusations and counter-accusations!

Since the suspect has been detained, let him be duly prosecuted according to the law of the land.

My condolences to the family of the victim and the good people of Abia State.

Am not surprised at all they said the same thing about phyton dance

I am shocked that Ikpeazu is shocked because of this little lie from Lai

Ohuru Isimiri Police Division is notorious for robbery operations. They are kidnappers. They raid peoples homes. They do illegal arrest just to obtain money from you.
You will just be coming back from work in the evening Ohuru Isimiri Police Division will just bring bus and pretend to be carrying passengers, immediately you enter the bus they will take all the passengers to the police station,so that you will bail yourself with N5,000.
Actions should be taken against them, if not one day we will show them what O told O.

Anytime I hear or see that name ...

Ikpeazu shocked at Lair Mohd small lie,
If the Hon minister releases a bigger lie so Ikpeazu go turn shock absorber to shock repellant.

Abians are more shocked at Ikpeazu's inability to pay workers their salaries.
Someone who owes workers over 7 months salaries and still lies about it in the media.
What's the difference between him and Lai??

Politicians are good deflectors, always keeping their people preoccupied with many distractions while they are free to do whatever they want

Lie Mamamad is a cursed man.
