Ohanaeze Youths Blast Enugu Police Over Herdsmen Bias

An Igbo youth group attacked police explanations about a local government chairman. The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council rejected reasons police gave for calling in the Uzo-Uwani area leader. Group president Mazi Okwu Nnabuike demanded the transfer of Enugu State's police boss. The organization accused officers of unfair treatment and selective justice. Leaders said police failed to protect local people from deadly attacks.

Police claimed they wanted to question Chairman Chijioke Ezugwu about eight murders. Officers said the chairman was connected to killings inside his local government area. The youth council called this explanation insulting and wrong. Activists argued police ignore real killers but blame innocent officials instead. Group members asked how many violent herders police have actually arrested.

The organization questioned whether Igbo people receive equal treatment under the law. Leaders said murderous herders walk free despite killing many residents. Police quickly summon local chairmen but avoid arresting actual criminals. The youth council lost faith in current police leadership. Members want the national police chief to remove the state commander immediately.
