Shoot Those Who Attack You – Gov Umahi Orders Security Agents

Chairman of the South East Governors Forum and Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has charged security personnel’s in his state to defend themselves when the need arises.

 Umahi spoke while he received the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) of South East zone, Joseph Egbunike, at the old Government House, where he interacted with him. He asked the security agents to engage anyone who attacks them to protect their lives.

In his words: “I charge security agents to engage anyone who attacks them as it is stupid for you to be holding a gun and someone will kill and snatch your gun.

“Somebody started playing with the emotions of our people. I feel so ashamed to see that it is only in the southeast region that they are burning down police stations, we are not at war unlike in the north east where we have full scale war. We feel so sad about it. We had our stakeholders meetings for all the clans and we have tried to educate them. But unfortunately our youths are being brainwashed.

“The security agents are human beings like others in the society and are also peoples’ fathers and mothers. Their lives are not cheaper than our own and you should not allow your personnel posted to the state to leave because we need them and will accommodate them.”

“The late Igbo leader, late Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu executed the Nigerian/ Biafra civil war and told the people not to fight again. These challenging days would soon be over and we need the collaboration of all, especially in re-orientating our children to have a rethink in their activities,”
