A commander of Ebubeagu security outfit, Mr. Magnus Iganda
has been reportedly killed in Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
It was gathered that gunmen yet-to-be identified,
invaded his house on Wednesday morning and shot him dead.
The Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Ezza North Local Government Area, Mr. Emeka Nwonu, who is also a
resident of the area, confirmed the incident in a statement on Thursday.
He described the Ebubeagu commander’s killing as shocking
and barbaric, calling on security agencies in the State to fish out his
killers.
He said: ”The All Progressives Congress, APC Ezza North
Local Government Area has received with shock, the sad news of the gruesome
murder of the Commander of Ebubeagu Security Outfit, Ezza North Local
Government Area, Mr Magnus Iganga, by yet-to-be identified gunmen in the early
hours of today.
“The news about his killing is shocking, and we wonder why
some individuals take delight in the termination of lives of fellow humans
instead of being the keepers of those fellows as instructed by the scriptures
to be our brothers’ keepers.”
When contacted, the State’s Police Public
Relations Officer, Loveth Odah confirmed that there was violence in the Local
Government on Wednesday.
She, however, said she was yet to get details of what
occured in the area, promising to get back to our correspondent with details.
