Enugu State governor, Mr.Peter Mbah, has placed a N10 million bounty on those who killed two policemen in Enugu, vowing to apprehend them.
The development happened barely one week after two policemen and three vigilante operatives otherwise known as Neighbourhood Watch Group were killed in another attack by hoodlums in Igga community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area. His words: “We just rounded off our security council meeting where we discussed, among other things, the gruesome killing of our policemen, men of the Enugu State Police Command, by criminals suspected to be members of the ESN. “Let me say this, this bestial and cold-blooded action cannot be condoned in Enugu State. I have given my directives to the security agencies that there must be no hiding place for these criminals in Enugu State.
“We are going to do everything necessary to ensure that the ultimate sacrifice made by our valiant policemen does not go in vain. “Our condolences go to the bereaved families. I will also ensure that as a government, we are going to provide the necessary support to the bereaved families.
