Dr George Moghalu

The governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Anambra State, Dr George Moghalu, has called on the federal government to disband the state security outfit, Agunechemba, with immediate effect.

Moghalu also wants those involved in the brutalisation of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member in Anambra to be arrested and prosecuted without delay.

Speaking with reporters on Wednesday at his campaign office in Awka, Moghalu described the action of the members of the security outfit as irresponsible and stupid.

This is not about politics. I want the Federal Government to take over this matter because the lady in question is government property.
Those people who are involved in dehumanising her should be brought to book.

It is a case too many in Anambra state from the same Agunechemba.
They are involved in killing innocent persons, threatening the lives of citizens and harassing, intimidating and extorting money from motorists with impunity, Moghalu said.

Moghalu said the operations of the outfit raise concerns as the November 8 governorship election approaches.

He said that if the government fails to take action over the incident, it means that it is encouraging the citizens to take charge of their security.

Jenifer Edema Elohor, who is serving her fatherland in Oba, Anambra, was dehumanised by Agunechemba at the Corpers lodge, where they went in search of alleged yahoo yahoo boys.

Commander of the state security outfit, Chief Ken Emeakayi, while parading the eight perpetrators on Wednesday at the government house office of the outfit, said they would be handed over to the police.

He said the perpetrators had already been suspended indefinitely, pending the investigation of the case by the police.
