Palpable fear has gripped residents of Enugu following the brutal
murder of some policemen in the city by unknown gunmen in recent times.
Our investigations revealed that hoodlums have killed more than
three policemen, including the Kwara State Commission of Police Chinwike
Asadu, since the beginning of this year.
It was gathered that the hoodlums also disappeared with the pistols of the slain policemen.
Most residents of the coal city who spoke to LEADERSHIP said the new trend had instilled fear in them.
Mr Obinna Oriaku, who resides in Achara Layout, said the ugly development was a serious source of worry to them.
“How do you explain a situation whereby criminals kill policemen and
take away their guns. Why won’t some of us without guns be afraid when
those saddled with the responsibility of protecting us cannot even
protect themselves,” he stated.
Another resident of Achara layout, Mrs Onyinye Ndukwu, said there was
the need for policemen to be combat ready at all times, saying it was
unfortunate that hoodlums had continued to kill many of them in Enugu
and nobody has been able to trace the whereabouts of the killers.
It could be recalled that the Enugu State Commissioner acknowledged
last week while briefing news men that some unknown hoodlums had been
killing policemen in the state but said his command was working hardto
stop the new trend.
