The Police command in Anambra says it has launched a manhunt for the killers of Joe Ezenwebo, the chairman of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in Nanka LGA of the state. 

According to NAN, Ezenwebo was shot dead on Saturday after stakeholders met with Chinwe Nnabuife, the YPP member representing the Orumba north and south federal constituency in the house of representatives, ahead of the rerun election.

Toochukwu Ikenga, the police spokesperson in Anambra, said Aderemi Adeoye, the commissioner of police in the state, condemned the killing and described the killers as “cowards who have murdered sleep”.

Ikenga said the police are already working to unmask the perpetrators of the act, appealing to members of the public to provide useful information that can help in the investigation.

“CP Aderemi Adeoye has vowed that the Command will hunt down and bring to justice the killers of the Nanka Ward Chairman of YPP,” Ikenga said.

“They might think they have committed a perfect crime and that they would get away with it but they delude themselves.

“The Command wishes to reassure all law-abiding citizens, especially in Nanka, not to be afraid but join hands with the Police in bringing the murderers and their sponsors to justice.”
