The member representing Omuma
Constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Kelechi Nworgu has been
implicated in the murder of one John Nwala.
John, who is on the wanted list
of the Rivers state government,and Stream Nwafor were earlier reported to have
been killed last weekend in Omuma by men of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, AKU.
However, a sibling of the
deceased, Linus Nwala told newsmen that his brother was not killed by officials
of the AKU as reported.
He acknowledged that his
brother’s name was in the list of wanted persons by the state government but
claimed that this was done out of hatred and as a result of his brother’s
membership of a rival political party.
Linus accused the sitting
lawmaker, Kelechi Nworgu of playing a role in the killing of his brother,
adding that the Police was not aware of any operation in Omuma.
According to him, “My brother is
not a criminal. He is not a kidnapper. They killed him because he has been
having problems with Kelechi because of the role he played during the 2015
elections.
“They have been after him since
then. Kelechi was the one who submitted his name as a wanted person. Those who
saw where my brother was killed said they saw the leader of Kelechi’s
security.”
Meanwhile, the lawmaker is yet to
respond to calls put across to his phone line.
When contacted, spokesman of the
Rivers State Police Command, Nnamdi Omoni said the command was yet to be
briefed about any operation by the Anti-Kidnapping Unit in Omuma.
