JUST IN: Anambra community places N10m bounty on suspected killers of over 20 persons

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.

 

VOICE AIR MEDIA learnt that 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.
