From Princely Onyenwe

“Gunmen had in the last two days murdered two policemen and an army officer providing security for construction workers along Owerri- Okigwe road and Owerri Umuahia road”, Bishop frowned.

The Catholic Bishop of Okigwe Diocese, Most Rev Dr Solomon Amatu today condemned the attack on the construction company working on Owerri- Umuahia road and Owerri-Okigwe roads which led to the killing of their security personnel.

The Bishop wondered why those behind the attacks want to stop the good works of the Governor.

Amatu who spoke during his sermon at the Golden jubilee wedding anniversary of Prof Maurice Iwu and his wife, Lady Kate asked if those engaged in the violence do not want the governor to bring progress to the state.

” I drove from Anara to Owerri today and the road was smooth, with no pothole or bad spot. That is the good road the governor is doing which these people don’t seem to be happy with.

Gunmen had in the last two days murdered two policemen and an army officer providing security for construction workers along Owerri- Okigwe road and Owerri Umuahia road, Bishop frowned.

While urging the perpetrators of the violence to desist from their murderous activities, Bishop Amatu said he didn’t believe that some people don’t want progress being driven by Gov Hope Uzodimma.
