In reaction to the killing of Marist Academy, Uturu student by bandits Saturday night, Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has directed the state Commissioner of Police, Mrs Janet Agbede, to as a matter of urgency, liaise with her counterpart in Imo State, to swiftly arrest the hoodlums and bring them to justice.
According to the state Commissioner for Information, John Okiyi Kalu, in a press release, “Abia State Government has also confirmed from the management of Marist Comprehensive Academy, Uturu, that the three students who sustained injuries from the attack have been treated and discharged while the parents of Master Ede Donald have been contacted.
While commiserating with the parents of the deceased, students, staff and management of Marist Comprehensive Academy, Uturu, over the incident, Ikpeazu condemned attempts by those he called “agents of opposition political actors in our state whose stock in trade is spreading fake news to diminish the state.”
The statement further read “The circulating report sponsored by these unconscionable individuals that ten students of Abia State University, Uturu, were abducted yesterday is not only untrue but also wicked and creation of the evil minds of those who are ready to do anything in pursuit of their selfish objectives against the overall interests of the State.
“The management of Abia State University, including the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Maxwell Ogbulu, has confirmed that no student of the institution was abducted yesterday as against fake reports obviously sponsored by these elements.
“We shall however continue to update Abians on issues affecting the State and her people with sincerity of purpose.”
