The Council Chairman of Oruk Anam Local Government Area, Rt. Hon. (Dr) Kingsley Frank has condemned and warned against renewed killings in the area.
He said this on his visit to Ekparakwa on Sunday  following the assassination and subsequent murder of the pioneer PDP Chairman of Oruk Anam, Sir Sylvester Ntefreh and his relative, Mr Emmanuel Ntefreh by unknown gun men.
According to him, the gruesome nature of the killing has made him in particular very sad and the killings unacceptable.

Unknown gunmen were said to have arrived the residence of the deceased in a SUV and dragged him outside while other members of the gang  shot sporadically in the air.

Eye witnesses stated that the  gunshots by the assailants attracted the attention of the youths who raised alarm against the gunmen, forcing the whole community to chase them.

Sadly, the gunmen had already abducted and taken the victim to a nearby bush where he was shot while other members of the gang who were waiting in a standby vehicle abandoned it, and escaped through the bush.

Dr Frank who described the death of Sir Ntefreh as a huge loss to humanity, warned desperate power seekers and rumor mongers against Politicizing the death of the revered gentleman. He however, expressed his condolence to the bereaved family and the entire people of Ekparakwa Clan over the demise of their titled first son.

While commending men and officers of the Nigerian Police for the Swift response today, the chief security officer of Oruk Anam called on all citizens to remain calm even as he reiterated his directive to security and intelligence agencies to do everything they could to bring perpetrators to book.
