Ex-PG of Isuaniocha, Onyeagolu Commends Soludo’s Efforts in Security Through Agunechemba

A Community leader, Chief Tony Onyeagolu has commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo for coming up with Agunechemba security outfit which is aimed at ensuring safety of lives and property across the state.

Chief Onyeagolu called on the Agunechemba security outfit to remain steadfast in their approach to community security and justice and not to be distracted by those who have continued to put the state in bad light.

He stated this while responding to the recent publication regarding the detention of Mr Onyemazu Ngini, by Agunechemba security outfit over his involvement in land grabbing and running a criminal team using Youth leader as a cover.

Chief Onyeagolu noted that It is crucial to clarify his position and the reasons for his involvement in the matter, as allegations have surfaced against both himself and the Agunechemba operatives by persons rooting for the release of Ngini without trial.

According to the Former PG, he is fully aware of the grave implications that accompany the accusations being levelled against Mr Ngini.

“I vehemently assert that the focus should remain on the legitimate investigative efforts addressing the serious crimes allegedly perpetrated by Mr. Ngini, rather than becoming embroiled in a diversion centered around my previous position and conduct. It has been implicitly suggested that my past as a former President General has somehow influenced the narrative surrounding this incident.

“However, let it be clear: my past decisions, which were overseen by the authorities, were made in the interest of maintaining order and community safety.”

Chief Onyeagolu noted that the allegations against Mr Ngini, including land theft and involvement with armed individuals, are not to be dismissed lightly, as they merit thorough investigation.

He therefore commended Chief Ken Emeakayi, leader of the Agunechemba operatives for his dedication towards ensuring the safety of various communities and for addressing the concerns of rising insecurity across the state.

“It is vital that we do not let personal grievances or past political rivalries becloud our judgment regarding matters of public safety and justice. The community deserves transparency and accountability.”

The Community leader encouraged the family and representatives of Mr Ngini to present concrete evidence that counters the claims made against him rather than make unfounded claims and allegations aimed at diverting attention.

According to him, “Mere assertions of his character do not absolve him from scrutiny. The rule of law must be upheld, and if any party is found to be engaging in wrongful conduct or is protected by influential networks, it is the duty of the law to act accordingly.”

Chief Onyeagolu claimed that the suspect, Onyemazi Ngini had been declared wanted by the Nigerian Police for various criminal activities including involvement in kidnappings and shooting at Police officers from Zone 13, IRT, Anti Cult who made several attempts to get him arrested.

He noted that Agunechemba security outfit did a very nice job by apprehending him, and must do every possible to unravel all his activities before charging him to court or hand him over to the Inspector General of Police for the law to take its course.

According to Chief Onyeagolu, Mr Ngini is not the only person that have been invited or detained by the new security outfit as they work with concrete evidence and information before embarking on such arrest.

Chief Onyeagolu called on Governor Charles Soludo, to look beyond the distractions and focus on the real issues at hand within Isuaniocha including acting on the white paper submitted by a Panel of enquiry set up in the past.

“The safety of our community necessitates attention to the pressing concerns of crime and the integration of community-led security initiatives, which should not be hindered by unfounded personal accusations. He added.

The former President General of Isuaniocha therefore called on all to stand united against crime and ensure that the community thrives in peace and harmony.
