The Anambra State governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has condemned the killing of three members of the Anambra State Vigilance Group, on official duty at Nkwo, Igboukwu, in the Aguata Local Government Area of the state.
In a statement in Awka on Friday, the governor’s Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, gave the names of the victims as Okeke Emeka, Nnayelu Orizu and Chukwuma Ubaego.
The victims were killed when some yet-to-be-identified assailants opened fire on them on Wednesday.
Condemning the killings, the governor reiterated that those responsible for the killing of the three vigilantes would be fished out wherever they were to face justice.
He commiserated with the families of the deceased and Igboukwu community, assuring that the death of the vigilantes would not be in vain.
He added, “This particular act of killing is inhuman and totally unacceptable. The perpetrators will surely not go scot-free as we are fully determined to fish them out to pay dearly for their crimes,” he stressed.
They were accused of vandalising electric cables, streetlights mounted at various locations at the airport.
