The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), Enugu State Chapter, has strongly condemned the gruesome murder of renowned ogene musician, Okezie Chikezie Mba, who is popularly know as Igbo-Jah, by a reckless police officer in Enugu State.

In a press release, signed by its state chairman, Hon Afam Ani, the CNPP expressed its outrage over the senseless killing, emphasizing that justice must be served.

“We condemn in totality the gruesome murder of Igbo-Jah by a trigger-happy police officer,” said the state CNPP chairman. “The Nigeria Police Force must take responsibility for the actions of its officers and ensure that justice is served.”

The CNPP commended “the swift response of the Nigeria Police Force to the public’s demand for justice” but insisted that “more needs to be done to address the issue of police brutality.”

The umbrella body of all registered political parties and political associations in the state emphasized that the police must take concrete actions to prevent such incidents in the future.

The CNPP also demanded “the immediate dismissal of the redeployed Enugu State Command’s Anti-cult Tactical Squad unit Commander, SP Ekeleme Chidobe”, citing his “numerous anti-people policies and high-handedness.”

According to the CNPP, “his tenure has been marred by atrocities, and his subordinates’ disregard for human life is a direct result of his leadership style.”

“The state Commissioner of Police should have acted sooner to address Mr. Ekeleme’s atrocities,” the CNPP said.

The state chairman of the CNPP queried, “Why was he removed only after this incident? It raises questions about the police leadership’s commitment to accountability.”

The CNPP, however, applauded the Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah for his prompt response to the issue, including providing scholarships to Igbo-Jah’s children up to university level, emphasizing that justice must be served and those responsible for the gruesome murder held accountable.

“The people of Enugu State deserve better from their law enforcement agencies,” Hon. Ani concluded.
