Anambra community urges probe of leader’s death

The assassination of Chief Bernard Mozie, a former chairman of Ububa Nkpor community, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, is generating tension in the community.

Various stakeholders – including the council chairman, Chief Ralph Nnabuife; a non-governmental organisation (NGO), Nkpor Agenda; and the Ububa community – are asking the police to produce the killers.

Nnabuife urged the police to intensify their investigation to unravel the circumstances that led to the assassination of the late Mozie in his home in Ububa.

The chairman of Nkpor Agenda, Mr. Christopher Ogham, advised the police to ensure a thorough investigation to apprehend the perpetrators.

Ogham noted that to prevent a recurrence, the bereaved family, in conjunction with the community, have started what he called overt and covert consultations.

Mozie was killed in his home at Nkpor few days before the alleged killed of a journalist, Ikechukwu Udendu, the Editor of Anambra News, in the same community.

The Ogidi Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Mr. Kanayo Uzuegbu said the matter has been transferred to the State Investigation and Intelligent Bureau (SIIB), Awka, the state capital, for further investigation.
