Ebeano, Nnamani’s Group Faults Claims On Killing Of Chukwu

The Ebeano political family in Enugu State has expressed its pain over the allegation that the group inspired by Senator Chimaroke Nnamani was behind the killing of the Enugu East Labour Party senatorial candidate, Oyibo Chukwu, that it masterminded his killing.

GWG.ng reports that a brother of the deceased politician Arthur had alleged prior to his death that some people he claimed belonged to the Ebeano political group had been trailing him.

Senator Nnamani who is the chief promoter of Ebeano is the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP candidate in Enugu East Senatorial Constituency the constituency seat that the late Chukwu had been seeking on the ticket of Labour.

Rebuffing the insinuations of a link between Ebeano or Senator Nnamani and the killing of Chukwu, the group’s zonal leader, Emmanuel Okwor, said:

“We are pained by the senseless killings; we expect people to be rational. It’s unfair to accuse innocent persons of something they do not know anything about.’’

Noting that the Ebeano had in the past condemned violent crimes including the forced sit-at-home by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB he said that it was as such painful for the group to be labelled as having partaken in the killing of Chukwu.

While noting that PDP and APC members had been targets of similar killings, Okwor said, “It is unfair and uncharitable to accuse the Ebeano family of this heinous crime. As much as we do not want to join issues with the family, we strongly take exception to this accusation.

“We have challenged the security operatives not to leave any stone unturned in the quest to unravel the circumstances of Chukwu’s murder to bring the perpetrators to justice. We are concerned about the deteriorating security situation and call on all citizens to cooperate with security agencies to get to the root of the matter. We do not expect reckless and unfounded accusations at this point.”
