ENUGU — The Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi during a condolence visit to families of fallen police officers who were attacked by yet-to-be-identified gunmen at checkpoints in Obeagu-Amechi in Enugu South Local Government Area and Amagunze in Nkanu East LGA announced employment for widows of the deceased.
Ugwuanyi while commiserating with the families also paid three months’ salaries of the slain officers.
“The condolence package is applicable to wives of other affected officers. However, the spouses have the option of scholarship of their children to secondary school level in place of automatic employment,” Ugwuanyi further explained.
Some of the deceased officers are Late Inspector Timothy Tion, an indigene of Benue State, Inspector Emeka Nnaji, from Owo in Nkanu East LGA.
Lamenting over the unfortunate incident, the aged father of the deceased, Christian Nnaji, described his son Emeka Nnaji’s death as a big blow to the family and wondered the crime his son committed that warranted such brutal killing; he described his son as the breadwinner and the loss, irreparable.
The Governor was accompanied by a team of senior police officers led by the Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), ACP Fidelis Ogarabe to residence of the deceased.
