CSO Exposes Violent Activities Of Gen Okonkwor, Emeka Offor, Ors 

Where their communal houses are located in their communities, no house of a poor man or widow is allowed. It is either the ancestral owner of the house is forced to trade off his ancestral or her marital birth right by enforced relocation or get it lost by demolition and frame up. 

In some cases, “benevolent” method of dwarfing or walling off the ancestral houses of poor neighbours with high rising fences or concrete wall demarcations is applied. 

The communal dwelling house of Mr. Ernest Obiejesi in Okija, Ihiala LGA of Anambra State is a clear case in point. 

Asphalted meters long roads leading to such houses are cordoned off and marked “no illegal standing” and “no access”; forcing their poor neighbours to access houses through backyard foot-paths.

Also in communities where these nova riches hail from, there is litany of intractable crises; ranging from communal/clan/kindred land disputes between them and the ancestral owners of the lands, to kingship and other forms of chieftaincy and communal union disputes. 

The number of conventional security personnel including soldiers, SARS operatives, Mobile Police Personnel and at times SSS operatives; attached to six leading troublesome billionaires in Anambra State (Emeka Offor, Ernest Obiejesi, Godwin Okeke, Ifeanyi Uba, Arthur Eze and Christian Ubah); likewise several others is not only shocking, alarming and deafening but also more than enough to properly police two major Local Government Areas of Aguata and Anaocha. 

Each of these troublesome billionaires moves with at least ten armed conventional security personnel. 

There are also squadrons of conventional security personnel reservists preserve for them to be used at their slightest beck and call. 

Various and strategic army, navy, SSS and police formations and their commanders/heads including Police SARS headquarters and their units in Anambra State, Zone 9 at Umuahia, 82nd Division of Nigerian Army Enugu and its satellite formations across the Southeast  and Police Force Headquarters at Abuja are in their routine pocket and control. 

Their words are law and final before such security heads. Whoever that is arrested at the behest of any of these troublesome billionaires has possibly embarked on journey of no return.

Emeka Offor of Chrome Oil and EEDC is a clear case in point. 

His ownership and midwifery of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company has had a violent and despicable record of using officers and men of various divisions and sub divisions of Anambra State Police Command particularly it’s SARS unit to harass, intimidate, arrest, torture and detain scores of citizens for months or several weeks without trial. 

In 2014 and 2015, scores of citizens including landlords, tenants, electricians and EEDC substantive and contract workers were arrested, detained unlawfully at SARS formations in the State for several months without trial and tortured for “tempering with prepaid meters and stealing of EEDC properties/funds”.
