RE: KILLING OF SOLDIERS And KIDNAP OF DAEWOO EXPATRIATES: WE DO NOT HAVE THOSE COMMUNITIES IN AHOADA EAST LGA
Our attention has been drawn to a press release quoting the Acting PRO of 6 division of the Nigerian Army
that militants from Ahoada East LGA have killed four soldiers and kidnapped two Daewoo Company expatriates.
While, such dastardly act remains condemnable and discouraged by all responsible beings, we wish to categorically draw the attention of the Army Authorities and the general public that the areas quoted by the said press statement are neither close nor part of Ahoada East Local Government Area. All are Communities in Abua/Odual Local Government Area.
Ahoada East LGA is peaceful now, hence, the ongoing annual football competition in our domain.
I also wish to use this opportunity to call on the media to always exhibit professionalism in checking for facts before publishing stories, especially, when it has to do with human lives.
Thank You.
Chief Barr. Ben Israel Eke
Executive Chairman
Ahoada East LGA
