If you are confused or wonder about what happened in Enugu yesterday(25 April), this is the timeline as Ariaku Emeh Iroh's wall provides it:
1. Governor Ugwuanyi gets information that Uzouwani will be attacked as some herdsmen from Nassarawa are converging near the community.
2. There was a call made by Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to the President, he was put on hold for over an hour fifteen minutes.
3. This call was made in the presence of 13 men and 4 women, the President's aide told the Governor that the President will get back to him.
4.The President through his aide after 4 hrs told Enugu State governor that the President will do something about it.
5. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on hearing that the Police have not arrived at Uzouwani called GOC 82 Division for help. He was refereed to the presidency again.
6. This time around, he was put on hold for nearly 2 hrs again, while waiting to speak to the President. News came in that the attack he was planning to prevent has actually taken place.
7. Within an hour, the Commissioner and GOC who refereed the Governor to the President has mobilised their men to stop retaliation. The same way Lagos and Agatu were attacked and retaliation prevented.
We need to know why Police Commissioner and GOC need presidency order before they can protect the innocent citizens?
We need to know – why Police and military sent their men to Uzouwani after the attack to prevent retaliation?
We need to know why a sitting Governor cannot use the support of Police and military to protect his people?
Abled men and women would have prepared to help and protect their people.
"Orji Uzo Kalu, used media to avert this type of unnecessarily deaths in Okigwe during his tenure. He called his media team and went on air. His face off with Obasanjo made him bypass OBJ and went on air. Abians was forced to prepare and fulani men went back home.
…Put the call before public media , have it taped and watched and monitored all over the world and Uzouwani citizens would've rushed back home in their millions to protect their relatives. The world will see how a tyrant value lives of his people."
