The Grow Orlu Project, a group saddled with the responsibility of fostering a united and peaceful Orlu, has condemned the gruesome murder of its Coordinator, Captain Tony Enoch (Rtd).
Reacting to the dastardly act, the Facilitator/Director General of the Grow Orlu Project, Prince Nixon Okwara, described the incident as unfortunate and barbaric. The late Enoch was gunned down by assailants during the late hours of Tuesday, May 9, 2023, while coming back from the APC Stakeholders meeting held in his Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State.
Prince Okwara described Tony Enoch’s assassination as a rude shock to the Grow Orlu family, the Kpakpando political family, Oru East, Imo State, and Nigeria at large, especially those who encountered him while he lived.
The Director General lamented that Enoch’s life was cut down when it was almost time to enjoy the fruit of his Labour by yet-to-be-identified killers.
“Quite a horrible Tuesday! Our hearts are heavy with grief, sadness, and pain. Capt. Enoch was a great and exceptional member and the general Coordinator of our team, “The Grow Orlu Project” who made significant contributions to our group. His smart disposition, intellect, tireless work ethic, and unwavering commitment to the victory of our party and candidates were made manifest in that successful outing on the 25th of February elections. This is one but many losses to us. We condemn in strong terms this dastardly act and senseless act of violence in our region and call for justice. Capt. will not die in vain,” he said.
While calling on the Imo State government and security agents to fish out the perpetrators of the act, he said that his killers would never know peace both here on Earth and beyond.
