The town union in its meeting, where the group addressed a press conference on the matter, accused the police of handling the matter with kid gloves since two prime suspects on the matter were arrested by the police.

The police are yet to make any pronouncement on the progress of investigation into the gruesome murder even when it was already a public knowledge that two key suspects were arrested and allegedly being kept behind counter at the state police headquarters.

President General of Aku General Assembly, Chief Fidelis Ezeoyili said “We are worried that the police are yet to unveil the suspected persons and we are going to pursue this matter to a logical conclusion because within two years, four persons from Aku have been assassinated in Enugu. Some arrests have been made and they are chatting with the police and that’s why we are asking the police to do the needful and very fast.”
