Baby Boy's Disapearance? Igwe Iweka , Obosi Vigilant , SSS And Police React To The Killing Of Youths In Obosi

Remember this story? Get the latest on it?Tension is the word in Obosi, Idemmili North local government Area of Anambra state. Obosi is the former Commonwealth Secretary, Chief Emeka Anyaoku’s home stead.

 

 For every two days youths and community people protest in search of one Mr. Tochukwu Nebo known as baby boy in Obosi and environs.

 

He is loved and liked by many for his daring spirit in safe guarding Obosi collective heritage as the former Chairman of Obosi Land Management Committee. That investigations confirmed was as a compensation for he role he played in enthroning Igwe A.C Iweka as traditional ruler of Obosi kingdom.

 

He is from Ire village and married 26 years old Chinenye with five children among whom are twins born to the family on October 8, 2013.  She is a petty trader but all now is history as she does nothing now but going from one pillar to one post asking for her husband’s whereabouts. 

 

Igwe Iweka Reacts through Palace Secretary and Obosi Security Committee 

 

  When contacted on the sudden disappearance of Mr. Tochukwu Nebo known as baby boy, who was a former Chairman of Obosi Land Management Committee, Igwe A.C Iweka  through the Palace Secretary , Shedrack Okenwa  denied being responsible for the misfortune if any that befell Baby boy. He exonerated the Igwe of having hands in the problems in Obosi but quickly handed me over to the Chief Security Officer  of Obosi Community to react to issues bothering security and cult clashes in Obosi as according to him ,he is more competent.

 

He had said before handing me over’’, the riots are not from Obosi youths because Obosi youths have no problem s with land. The people clashing are cultists but speak to the right man for your answers, the Chief Security Officer /Adviser , Ken Ikenwa.

Ikenwa reacting admitted that one baby boy was arrested by family members of a girl he raped and handed over to them before the handed over to the State Security Services (SSS). He added that people should ask the Anambra state Director of SSS where Baby Boy is and not the security people doing their community policing.

On Prince Orizu , he wondered why Orizu has turned himself to an advocate for people crying wolf, adding that he could not understand whether Orizu is acting as a lawyer or police as he takes over every case from people who should be carrying their cross , writing petition for them even as he denied that his own leadership was party to beating him up,’’ probably it has happened before I took over’.

In the words of Ikenwa, the security Adviser: ‘’there is one boy called Baby boy that people are accusing us of killing and have been protesting but we did not kill Baby boy and we are not Igwe’s special  vigilant men as they insinuate.

‘’We are Community policing vigilance group of the state government and we were on our duty post when we were called that Baby boy raped a 23 years old girl. He was arrested by the family members of the girl and we went there to take him away but on our way back we met SSS people along the road , they  stopped us and demanded that we hand them over baby boy which we did. 

‘’They took him to Awka but some people instead of demanding from SSS where baby boy is wrote petition to Abuja that we killed Baby boy and since then police from Abuja have been chasing us around  and we have gone into hiding to avoid arrest . We have been invited to Abuja and we would be in Abuja  on Monday 17^th March, 2014 to be cleared by the police before we could be moving freely about again. Right now we are into hiding.

‘’How can we kill baby boy we handed over to the SSS ? Let them go to the SSS They have been busy framing security people up and baby boy was not our member but member of the youths.

On the allegation by Prince Orizu who alleged the Igwe security men beat the hell out of him, Ikenwa said I don't understand him at all. He is posing as a petition writer and as a charge and bail lawyer. He has been carrying over cases from people whether it concerns him or not. If he was beaten not in my tenure.

''Security men are now afraid in Obosi because anything we do , we would be framed up . We are not working as we suppose to because of false accusations against us. We don't kill and we are not security to the Igwe but to the community under community policing of the state government. The bad groups in the community are killing themselves and they are being sponsored by big weights but I won't mention anybody's name. They have killed 9 youths and more would be killed. They want to act big now by setting houses ablaze that is the information we are getting now just to discredit the Igwe as if he is incompetent. They are being sponsored.........but I will not call anybody’s name.''. 

 

 

But reacting to that the allegation by Obosi security that they didn’t kill Baby boy as he was handed over to the State Security Services (SSS) who took him to Awka, the state Director of SSS, Mr Alexander Okeiyi lamented that the family of Baby boy have not visited his office to ask about their son but went about saying all sorts of things ands asked the family to visit him.

 

Okeiyi said: ‘’this is not a matter we can discuss over the phone. But what do you say you are writing? Ok, ask them if they have come to ask about him in the SSS. They have not come to find out if their son is with us? They have not come to us. Ask them to come?

 

‘’This is not only an issue of raping but a high criminal offence involving kidnapping and killing. I hope you are aware of the killings in Obosi? The same groups are behind the killings in Obosi and I want the media to partner us in wiping away kidnappers and criminals from the society. I don’t know how many they have killed but there are killings in Obosi. They are involving the media now to deter me from coming to stop the mess as I did last year when it became unbearable. They don’t want me to come to Obosi that is why they have raised this issue again. Don’t help them in celebrating criminals.

Commissioner of Police, Anambra state , Usman Gwary who spoke through the Police spokesperson , PPRO , Emeka Chukwuemeka said baby boy was never handed over to the Nigerian police and the family of Baby boy knows who their son was handed over to, choosing not to mention SSS.

 

Chukwuemeka said,’’ Baby boy was not handed over to us. At no time was he handed over to the police. The family knows who their son was handed over to and if you ask them they will tell you it is not the Nigerian police.

 

‘’I don’t know the number of people already killed in Obosi but we are investigating the matter. I know there have been killings and the CP is not sleeping over that.  

 

The question is how could this mess be resolved as more men especially youths go down daily?
