When on assumption of office, Governor Rochas Okorocha instituted the Imo Security Network to help secure the life of Imolites, little did we know they will be a harm to the people.
According to a petition to the Police Area Commander, Orlu Area Command and made available to Imo Trumpeta, one Master Paul Duru (Jnr) Ikenna an ex-student of Okwudor Secondary Tech. School, also an indigene of Umuduruogba Okwudor in Njaba LGA, has petitioned the Area Commander Nigeria Police Force, Orlu Area Command of assault and brutalization by the Imo Rescue Mission Vigilante Group Njaba on Monday, March 18, 2013.
Speaking to our reporter on the matter, the father of the victim, Barr Paul Duru, stated that his son, Duru Junior was a witness in a matter tabled for investigation before the Rescue Mission Vigilante Group, Njaba.
He continued by saying that Duru Jr. was invited by one of the complainants so as to explain to the security outfit what he knew about the matter so as to expedite investigation. But surprisingly one James Osuji (aka Man Alone) of the outfit allegedly splashed sachet water on the young witness and kicked him on the legs.
As that was not enough, another member of the security outfit, one Justice Ahamefule (aka Jojo) also reportedly hit Duru Jr. on the eye which resulted in a very serious uncontrollable gushing of blood from the young lads (right eye).
Some days later, at the Imo State University Teaching Hospital, (IMSUTH), Orlu, the parents of Duru Jr. were informed that the eyeball (globe) of their son who recently entered for JAMB exams was ruptured.
They were subsequently referred to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Owerri, were a surgery was conducted and the ruptured eyeball extracted.
Barr Duru who was fuming with anger however described the brutal act on his lovely son as cruel, inhuman and a violation of the young boys fundamental right of dignity of the human person and therefore shall apply for redress in court on behalf of his son.
When our reporter called on the coordinator of the Security Group, Mr Chidi Nwamadu Sango on his phone numbers 08037644000, he promised to get his subordinates (James Osuji and Justice Ahamefula) to come to our office to state their own side of the incident. But up until the time this paper went to the press none of them was seen or heard from.
