Among earliest slain victims of the said butchery masterminded by the said violent billionaires and killer-“generals” in concert with or at the behest of the then Government of Anambra State were: Chuma Onwuazo and Bonaventure Egbuawa (murdered in April and July 2000, respectively, by then State Government backed OTA Vigilante Group), Hon. Ifeanyi Ibegbu (then member of Anambra State House of Assembly) abducted and tortured by AVS (Bakassi Boys) in the late night of 21st August 2000 at Bakassi Boys White House, Onitsha Main Market.
But he was miraculously saved through timely intervention of then IGP, Musiliu Smith; Edward Okeke (a popular prophet of Nawgu, murdered by AVS on 9th November 2000 over his prophesy concerning Gov Chinweoke Mbadinuju’s second tenure), Ezeodimegwu Okonkwo ( a.k.a.

The number of armed security personnel attached to “Gen” Kenneth Okonkwor of Governor Willie Obiano’s “Operation Clean & Healthy Anambra (OCHA Brigade)”, is only comparable to counter insurgency operations in Nigeria’s Northeast.
The attached armed security personnel include soldiers, SSS operatives, Navy personnel, SARS, Mobile Police personnel and voodooist and cannibalistic State vigilante operatives.
The violent activities of “General” Kenneth Okonkwor led OCHA Brigade reached to an apogee recently when he rolled out bulldozers and heartlessly stormed citizens’ residences in Oba community land and Okpuno-Ezi Nkwelle in Nkwelle-Ezunaka private Housing Estate and started demolishing residential buildings; at which various forms of extortion and threats, arrests, unlawful detention and torture ensued.
There are strong evidential records in the possession of the leadership of Int’l Human Rights & Equity Defense Foundation (I-REF) led by Comrade Justus Uche Ijeoma, showing that a total of N38.6M was collected as bribes from the helpless landlords and tenants of the Estate by “Gen” Kenneth Okonkwor and his riotous and killer-“OCHA Brigade to halt further demolitions.
These are contained in I-REF’s letter to the Governor of Anambra State, dated 8th May 2017.
Similar strong reservations are also made and contained in today’s (12th May 2017) press statement issued by the Southeast CLO, led by Comrade Aloysius Attah concerning the callous and riotous acts of demolishing the dwelling abodes of innocent citizens of Anambra State.
In other social climes, the concept of richness is seen in theory and practice as a priceless gift or blessing to the society.
In communities where such rich men and women come from, their communities and indigent natives and neighbours are at all times lifted and protected from malicious intra and inter communal others as well as from hash policies and neglects of State or Federal authorities.
Their wealth serves as a key influencer for drawing government attention and attraction of key infrastructural and social developments to their communities.
Brilliant but indigent pupils/students of such communities are awarded scholarships up to university level; without parasitic or selfish strings attached.
Such benevolent rich men and women also promote and protect at all times the sacredness of their traditional institutions including kingship and peace and tranquility of their communities.
They build communal roads, schools, hospitals, sink boreholes and provide communal electrification, etc without having to turn their communities, natives and kingship into perpetual slavery and annexation of communal lands through bribery, offer of peanuts and intimidation.
At a larger level, they set up foundations, research institutions, social funding agencies and engage in other forms of humanitarian gestures.
In return, they are immortalized while living and after living, not on account of how much they acquired while living but how much they contributed to save and sustain lives and the living and society while alive.
Examples of such living saints are Bill & Melinda Gate, Gerald Ford, George Soros, John D & Catherine T McArthur, Henry Dunant (founder of Red Cross), to mention but a few.
But in Anambra State and other parts of the Southeast and Nigeria, the reverse is gravely the case.
Rich men and women in Anambra State, dominated by people with acute limited education and slave-master idiosyncrasies, are like gods and goddesses. They constitute terror and nightmare to the State and communities.
