Igwe Enugwu Agidi’s connection with kidnap suspect should be investigated – PG
Following the recent arrest of an alleged criminal, Mr Chukwudi Tansi, at Enugwu Agidi by the Joint Task Force of Agunechemba on January 30th, the President General of Enugwu Agidi, Hon. Chukwuebuka David Onuorah has raised alarm that there was need for the state government to properly investigate the suspect and his connection with the Traditional Ruler of Enugwu Agidi, Igwe Mike Okekeuche.
Speaking during a recent press conference in Awka Anambra State, the PG revealed that as at April 4, 2024, he had written a petition against the kidnap suspect, Chukwudi Tansi, to the Inspector General of Police, stating categorically that he was a security threat to Enugwu Agidi community and should be investigated. The police approved the petition on April 17th and Chukwudi Tansi was arrested. He was found with 6 unregistered pump action rifles at the time of his arrest and he was taken to Abuja for further investigations.
It was revealed that the monarch of his community, in collaboration with some money bags in the community connived and got Tansi released without proper investigation and prosecution. Hon Onuorah said that the Igwe allegedly claimed that the suspect was one of his palace guards and thereby got him freed.
“This Chukwudi Tansi has been a terror to our community Enugwu Agidi and to myself personally. The Igwe has been using him to threaten my life on several occasions. There was even a time when a certain kidnap victim confessed that he was kept in a kidnappers’ den which was operated by this same Chukwudi Tansi.
“It is on record that the reason Enugwu-Agidi is the only community still unable to have an organised local vigilante group was because the Igwe had continued to insist that our local vigilante group can only be organised and instituted when the said Chukwudi Tansi is allowed to be a member and as well made the Chief Security Officer (CSO).
“There was even a time I had to write a petition against a certain list of proposed members of the AVG because I saw the name of Chukwudi Tansi on the list, and to add insult to injury, as the Chief of Security.”~ PG Enugwu Agidi
It has been reported that the PG also disclosed that after the Igwe and his cohorts could not succeed in selling the narrative that Chukwudi Tansi was being framed wrongly, especially with the fact that Tansi was caught this time around by Agunechemba Joint Task Force with 2 AK 47s and 4 foreign pistols, as well as the confession of Tansi’s wife to her husband’s crimes in a trending video, “their recent gimmick was to try to sell the laughable narrative that Tansi was working with, the President General”.
Honourable Onuorah therefore implored the state government to ensure thorough investigation on the activities of Chukwudi Tansi as well as his connection with Igwe Okekeuche and ensure that Tansi is not let off the noose again by certain powerful members of his community who are most likely aiding and abetting his criminal activities.
“This man (Chukwudi Tansi) is a menace to the society. He is the reason I go about with security guards and releasing him into the society again would be antithetical to the efforts being made by Mr Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, to ensure peace reigns in the state,” he said.
