Mass burial of accident victims: APGA chieftain commends Obiano

The Ogirisi Igbo and member of Board of Trustees (BoT) of All Pro-gressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, has com-mended the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, for the mass burial of the unidentified corps¬es of the tanker accident victims at Upper Iweka Road in Onitsha at the Obosi cemetery.
Ezeonwuka said: “As a contributor to the burial of Igbo sons and daugh¬ters who died during the civil war, in a bid to cleanse the land of vices and ghosts haunting, I know that no previ¬ous governor did it except Chief Obi-ano. Instead, other governors created more ghosts by killing more people through beheading and the burning of youths as a strategy of security con-trol, using Bakassi, and the shoot-at-sight on MASSOB youths.
“Now that thousands of Igbo youths, who died during the war have been given a befitting burial, to enable their hovering angry spirits rest in peace, the Obiano government maintains the excercise by ensuring that every dead person in Anambra is buried, which prompted the mass burial of unidenti-fied Upper Iweka corpses.”
