Brash and tough-talking Catholic priest, Emmanuel Obimma, aka Fada Ebube Muonso, has accused the Anambra State Police Command and Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration of shielding the killers of lawmaker Hon. Justice Azuka.
Father Ebube Muonso made the allegation in a video that was posted on Thursday.
He alleged that the late lawmaker, who represented Onitsha 1 Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly under the Labour Party (LP), was assassinated because he did not belong to the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
The fiery priest accused the police of accepting bribe from powerful individuals behind Azuka’s killing, by intentionally facilitating the escape of the two suspects arrested in connection with the ruthless murder.
He called on the Onitsha people to rise up and get justice for the late lawmaker who is their son, else, his spirit will never rest.
The cleric said, “He (Azuka) was not from APGA but the Labour Party. The suspects were apprehended and were handed over to the Anambra State Police.
“How come that the two of them escaped from custody? You can imagine, only two of them. Who is deceiving who? Anambra State should rise.
“That means it was a political killing and those involved have bribed their way because they wouldn’t want those suspects to expose them. Who is deceiving who in this?
“Two major suspects and there is still a government in the state. Inhumanity of man to man. Once you are connected to the powers that be, you are under perpetual immunity.
“But let everybody, even Charles Soludo remember that there is God in anything you are doing in this world.”
Speaking further in the video, he added, “How come two suspects who were arrested who were linked to the killing of the innocent man, Hon. Azuka from Onitsha.
“Let the people of Onitsha Ado arise. What really happened? A whole Onitsha? An honorable member from Onitsha was killed and it looks like you are keeping quiet.
“I have said it earlier that you are on your own. There is a strange demonic force and wind that is hovering around Anambra people.
“Once you are connected, you are above the law. Even those kidnappers were linked to high profiles, even some PGs (President Generals) were mentioned, and some Igwes (traditional rulers).
“Where are they today?” adding, “None of them have been arrested because they bribed their way. Soludo is not in charge of this state at all.”
He continued, “They wanted to cover somebody. They wanted to cover a crime, and that is why they quietly allowed those people to escape in order to cover up.
“Onitsha people, you must rise. You must ask the government of Anambra State for the killers of your brother, else, the spirit of Azuka will not rest.
“And so many people who have been killed in Anambra State and covered just like that, let their spirits arise and fight.”
This medium reported on Tuesday that the spokesman of Anambra State police command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga disclosed in a statement that two suspects linked to the murder of the late member of the state assembly representing Onitsha 1 Constituency had escaped from police custody.
The police image maker stated that preliminary investigations indicated the suspects were assisting police officers in an operation to arrest the receiver of stolen goods and recover operational vehicles used by the criminal gang.
However, it has been revealed that the police statement was issued eight days after the suspects escaped from custody.
Additionally, the police authorities in the state have refused to disclose the identities of the fleeing suspects or provide full details surrounding their escape.
