Chief Goddy Uwazurike acknowledged the state of affairs in the area when questioned about worries that agitation was hurting the Igbo people’s economic interests. He pointed out that every Monday, an unidentified group made statements and committed violent crimes against people who were merely attempting to go about their daily lives. He claimed that these guys were not real agitators but rather unidentified elements taking advantage of the situation to extort and injure the populace.
Uwazurike voiced dissatisfaction with the military’s response and underlined that these acts were harmful to the Igbo. According to him, the military would return on Tuesdays only to harass innocent residents, by which time the genuine criminals had already left with their gains, while on Mondays they would frequently stay away, thereby allowing these organizations to operate freely. He came to the conclusion that the military was ultimately responsible for solving the issue and urged them to act decisively if they genuinely thought they could.
“And what can we do?” he said. The army has the power to put an end to them, but on Mondays, the military will return home and let all those evildoers have a field day. The army will emerge on Tuesday and begin to harass the people. The crooks are occupied with savoring their plunder in the meantime. Therefore, the public is powerless. The military is still in charge; if they believe they can resolve the issue, they ought to take a position.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
