The Ebonyi Police Command on Thursday vowed to fish out the killers of a school principal and his teacher. The Principal of Nkaleke Echara Secondary School, Ojiegbe, Mr Simon Ominyi, and his teacher, Mr Moses Nwibo, were both murdered in the school by hoodlums on October 13.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, told NAN in Abakaliki that the command had commenced an investigation into the matter. Onovwakpoyeya said, “We are aware of the incident and police are in top gear to find out the root of the killing in order to bring the perpetrators to book. The state chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Mr Francis Okorie, condemned the dastardly act against his members.
“It is very bad for a sane man or woman to kill a teacher, who only works with chalk and pen. “We condemn the act. The cane we are using is just to correct the schoolchildren,” he said. He said that the union had yet to ascertain the reason behind the killing. Also, the state chairman of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Mr Chidi Igboji, said it was a “shameful act” to kill teachers. “Yes, they were gruesomely murdered in the line of duty at Nkaleke. This is too bad.
