Mbah Places N10m Bounty on Killers of Two Police Officers in Enugu

Enugu State Governor, Mr. Peter Mbah, has placed a N10 million bounty on the killers of two policemen in the state.

On May 7, the Enugu State Police Command said two policemen and three members of the neighbourhood watch were killed during a crisis that erupted in the Iggah community, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of the state.

While briefing journalists after a security council meeting at the government house yesterday, Mbah said the state would go after the culprits with every resource at its disposal. On the possible culprits, Mbah said available information pointed to men of the Eastern Security Network (ESN).

He called on members of the public to be on the lookout for the criminals and the exhibits, and report the same to security agencies.

“We just rounded off our security council meeting where we discussed, among other things, the gruesome killing of our policemen - men of the Enugu State Police Command - by criminals suspected to be members of the ESN,” Mbah said.

“Let me say this. This bestial and cold-blooded action cannot be condoned in Enugu State. I have given my directives to the security agencies that there must be no hiding place for these criminals in Enugu state. We must use everything necessary to hunt down, arrest, and bring to justice the perpetrators of this heinous crime.

“We have also placed a bounty of N10 million as a reward to anyone, who would have any useful information that will lead to the arrest of these criminals. So, I enjoin members of the public to, please, come forward, or call the police and other security agencies with any useful information that could lead to the arrest of these criminals.
