CSO Exposes Violent Activities Of Gen Okonkwor, Emeka Offor, Ors
The Return Of Troublesome Billionaires & Killer-“Generals” In Anambra State (1) – Intersociety
Anambra Society had in recent times been devilled by rampaging and violent activities of its leading troublesome or violent billionaires and killer-“generals”; leading to loss of several innocent lives, instigation of police extra judicial killings and torture; maiming, abductions, frame-ups, trumped up charges, privatization and commercialization of conventional security agencies and agents as well as destruction of public and private properties worth billions of naira.
The violent activities of the said violent billionaires and killer-“generals” rose to an apogee in July 2004 when key public institutions and sensitive public and private buildings in Anambra State including Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS), the State Judicial Headquarters, Awka Government House and others were set on fire and destroyed by criminal citizens and mobs hired and sponsored by then leading violent billionaires and killer-“generals” in the State.
At the centre of accusation then was Mr. Chris Ubah, one of the leading troublesome billionaires in the State till date. A number of killer-“generals” in the State then including Mr. Chuma Nzeribe were strongly accused of being responsible for coordination of the violent and coupist activities.
The most shocking part of it was that the destructions and other forms of mayhem took place under the watchful eyes of various conventional security agencies in the State including the Anambra State Police Command.
The then sitting Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chris Ngige, was also held hostage and beaten up like a child.
Today, not only that the troublesome billionaires and killer-“generals” have returned but their presence and activities in the State and communities where they come from have become an incurable nightmare and terror.
At the State level, the fear of these violent billionaires and killer-“generals” by innocent citizens and various security commands is the beginning of wisdom.
The State Police Command and its SARS; likewise other conventional security agencies in the State is parasitically under their permanent control and pocket.
Their violent activities have also been promoted, tolerated and protected at all times by successive civilian Governments of Anambra State particularly those of 1999-2003 and 2003-2006 as well as the present Government of Anambra State.
There are many troublesome billionaires and killer-“generals” in Anambra State till date and most prominent of them are the likes of Mr. Godwin Okeke of GUO Companies (who till date remains a major player in public security in the State), Mr. Ernest Obiejesi of Nestoil Group, Mr. Emeka Offor of Chrome Oil and EEDC, Mr. Christian Ubah, Mr. Arthur Eze of Atlas Petroleum and Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah of Capital Oil.
Anambra State also parades a region of quiet and highly respected billionaires among them are Mr. Daniel Chukwudozie of Dozzy Oil & Gas, Mr. Godwin Ezemo of Orient Group of Companies and Mrs Adaora Umeoji (Deputy Managing Director and a major stakeholder in Zenith Bank PLC), to mention but few.
There are also several killer-“generals” in the State who now address themselves as “security experts/consultants” or “market leaders”.
Chief among them are the likes of Mr. Chinenye Ihemko (a.k.a. Okpompi); co-pioneer commander of former Governor Mbadinuju’s murderous AVS or Bakassi Boys and current millionaire-AVS chief of Onitsha Main Market; and “Gen” Kenneth Okonkwor, who now heads what Governor Willie Obiano calls “Operation Clean & Healthy Anambra” or “OCHA Brigade”; a legitimized militia group.
Mr. Okwudili Ezenwankwo (a.k.a Ewepudike) who says he is the President Gen of Anambra State/Southeast and Nigerian Market Associations; is strongly believed to be one of such troublesome “market leaders”.
Attached below is picture of “General” Kenneth Okonkwor in his “OCHA Brigade’s General” uniform.
These killer-“generals” were preceded by the likes of Camillus Ebekue, Paulinus Ubanozie, WORLD BANK-Orakwu, NTU-Ozubulu, BRAVO-Ozubulu, Bona Maduafokwa, Chuma Nzeribe and Emeka Asoanya (a.k.a War Machine, who is now the Caretaker Committee Chair of Onitsha South LGA).
These god-father killer-“generals” held sway in the inglorious epoch of murderous Onitsha Traders Vigilante Group (OTA) and Anambra Vigilante Services (a.k.a. Bakassi Boys) all backed by the then Governor Chinweoke Mbadinuju administration.
Out of these troublesome billionaires and killer-“generals” mentioned, 97% of them did not go beyond Primary School or FSLC, not talk of Secondary School.
Any post primary school academic certificate possess by any of them today other than FLSC is procured or obtained through proxy “internal” or “external” WAEC exams.
Through unchecked violent and murderous activities of those pre 2006 violent billionaires and killer-“generals”, thousands of citizens of the State origin and residency were butchered.
The butchery got escalated and alarming between 1998 and 2002; leading to mass and individual deaths of over 5,000 people in Anambra State.
The butchery was perpetrated by the then violent billionaires and killer-“generals” using the trio of Onitsha Traders Vigilante Group (OTA: 1998-2000), Anambra State Vigilante Services a.k.a Bakassi Boys (2000 – 2002) and operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the State Police Command (2004 to 2013 and above).
