SAN
FRANCISCO, December 10, (THEWILL) - Delta State Governor, Dr Emmanuel
Uduaghan has charged the people of Ogwashi-Uku and the Okonjo royal
family not to take the laws into their hands as the Government was doing
everything possible to rescue the abducted queen of the kingdom, Prof
Kamene Okonjo.
Besides, he assured the royal family of Professor
Obi Chukwuka Okonjo and the entire people of Ogwashi-Uku that Prof.
Kamene Okonjo, mother of the Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, would be returned safely and in good state of health.
The
Governor, who gave the charge Monday at Ogwashi-Uku when he visited the
family in the palace, stated that law enforcement agencies in the state
were already in the field gathering information as well as tracking
down the perpetrators to ensure her safe return.
In
particular, he enjoined the community leaders, vigilante groups and the
entire Ogwashi-Uku community to remain calm and not to take any action
that may prompt the kidnappers to act in rash manner that may be
detrimental.
He stressed that only peaceful disposition as well
as collaboration and cooperation with the law enforcement agents would
ensure the desired objective at this point in time.
Dr Uduaghan
urged the people not to be involved in rumours mongering as it was
capable of jeopardizing the on-going rescue efforts, explaining that
only useful information would be required as the situation was delicate.
“Please
do not get involved in rumours mongering and trading stories that will
not help law-enforcement agents. Only information that will help in her
rescue is needed now”, he stated.
The Governor said that the
perpetrators of the crime would be tracked down and brought to book
adding that law enforcement agencies in collaboration with the
government will not rest until they were apprehended and brought to
book.
He assured the Okonjo family that everything was being
done to ensure the safe return of Prof Kamene’s, explaining that all
hands were on deck to arrest the suspect.
Emphasizing further,
he said, “I have been in touch with officers of various law enforcement
agencies and I assure you that Prof Kamene will be safely returned. The
perpetrators of such a despicable crime will be brought to justices”.
