The Enugu State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists has condemned attack on its Member, a reporter with the Vanguard Newspaper and called on the police Commissioner of Police in the state to investigate the matter thoroughly and bring to justice perpetrators of the dastardly act.
The Union in a release jointly signed by the Council Chairman,and Secretary, Comrade Sam Udekwe and Dame Ifeoma Amuta stated that the matter which is said to have been brought to command’s notice is a very serious one which cannot be swept under the carpet.
The statement reads:
“On Sunday 21/4/24 the Nigeria Union of Journalists Enugu State Council received the unpleasant news of attack on one of its members and Vanguard reporter,Mr Dennis Agbo who was beaten to stupor by suspected thugs from Neke over a land dispute at Ugwuokwunele Umuaram in Ikem, Isiuzo Local government Area of Enugu State”.
The union while condemning the attack in its entirety wonders why such dastardly act should be meted out to a young man who had proof of ownership of his family’s land to the extent that his late Uncle the owner was buried on the land.
“We call for justice and want all the thugs and their sponsor (s) brought to book while our colleague reclaims his land”.
