The Ezinano community in Anambra State has announced a N10m reward for any useful information that would enable the police nab suspected cultists for killing over 20 persons in the area.
The Nibo incident, which occurred two weeks ago was followed
by that of Ifite, a neighbouring community, where seven persons were also
killed under similar circumstances.
Mr Jeff Nweke, leader of the Ezinano community in Awka South
Local Government Area of the state announced the reward on Saturday during the
town’s empowerment programme at the community Square in Awka.
“We are donating the sum of N10m to help the police and
other security agencies arrest the killers of over 20 persons in Nibo and Ifite
communities.
“The money will go to anyone or group that will give the
police and other security agencies useful information that will lead to the
arrest of the perpetrators of the dastardly acts,” he said.
Nweke, who decried the killings, said it was strange in the
area, and enjoined the police to collaborate with the people to fish out the
culprits for prosecution.
The community leader, who is also the Chief Executive
Officer of Blue Shield Security outfit in Awka, lamented on the high level of
moral decay among the youths, and tasked parents to do more in inculcating good
morals into their children.
He also announced N50m as part of the initiatives of his
leadership to empower indigent women in the community toward improving their
farming activities.
According to him, the money would help the women set up fish
and poultry farms to support their families and boost socio-economic activities
in the area.
