Ogun: Ohanaeze demands justice for Igbo woman allegedly murdered over N1,500

The reported killing of an Igbo trader in Ogun State has attracted condemnation from the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide.

The group has therefore asked the Ogun State Government to ensure justice for the victim’s family.

It was alleged that the victim, a woman, Blessing Eze, was killed at Ifo Market, in Ogun State by a gang.

The armed group, said to be parading as government agents, were said to have stabbed Blessing on the chest, resulting in her death.

Sources said her offence was refusing to pay a N1,500 religious levy imposed on the traders at the market.

Reacting, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike asked the Ogun State Government to provide clear details on what led to the death of the Igbo woman.

“We need to know why she was killed; who are those behind her gruesome murder?

“What has the government done to get justice for her? Have the perpetrators been arrested?

“The Ogun State government has to respond appropriately. Time has gone when Ndigbo are continuously treated as slaves in their own country.

“This gruesome murder of an innocent Igbo trader would not be condoned; we must fight until she gets justice,” Okwu vowed.

He also called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun to take over the investigation of the matter.

“We are urgently appealing to the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun to take over the investigation of the matter.

“This is the only way to guarantee justice for the victim’s family,” Okwu stated.
