There were confusing and contradicting testimonies at the public hearing
held in Awka by the joint Senate Committees on Police Affairs and
National Security Intelligence over the mystery bodies found floating on
Ezu River, Amansea, Awka North Local Government Area on January 19.
Also, the state police command has confessed that it was having a
serious problem with the investigation of the incident, just as it
condemned the haste in which the bodies were buried.
The Senate committees led by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Police
Affairs, Senator Igwe Paulinus Nwagu and his National Security
Intelligence colleague, Mohammed Mangoro, which visited the traditional
ruler of Amansea, Igwe Kenneth Okonkwo and the Ezu River before the
public hearing at the Conference Hall of the Government House, Awka,
were not also happy with the haste in which the bodies were buried and
the nearness of the burial site to the river. Other members in the team
are Chris Ngige, Mohammed Sani Sani, Solomon Ewuga and Mohammed Shaaba
Lafiaji. More»
