I am yet to understand this degree of callousness. I am using this medium to inform all well meaning Abians of this blood shed at this point we are all celebrating a breath of fresh air in our state.
Angry netizens took to social media to call for justice for Mbakwe following his murder.
Princewill Chukwuebuka wrote: “The news of the killing of Izuchukwu Mbakwe, a staff of De Choice Eatery, Umuahia, by a trigger happy Vigilante attached to Abia State Vigilante over a missing “NOKIA TORCH” has left me utterly heartbroken.
The news reminds me of the case I am currently handling involving some men and officers of a Vigilante attached to one community.
It’s apparent that the deployment of Vigilante by some communities have contributed to improving security for those communities.
But my concern is that if the operations and activities of these vigilantes are not constantly put in check by the community leaders, the police and other statutorily established security agencies, at the long run they could pose a threat given their heavy-handed approach.
Today, cases of extra-judicial killings, violation of human rights, extortion and criminal impunity against vigilante across the Federation are becoming imminently alarming
The manager of De Choice Eatery, Umuahia on whose instructions the untrained Vigilante acted on to kill Izuchukwu is as guilty as the fool who did the shooting.
The Manager of De choice should not be spared, he should not be pardoned.
He is also a Principal Suspect in the murder of Izuchukwu.
De choice eatery should be shut down immediately.
I have no respect and sympathy for people who use their offices and positions as a tool to intimidate, harass and oppress others.
Rest in Peace Izuchukwu.“
