2 min read
Moved by the sympathy for the poor boy, Garman based controversial Akalite, Prince Debo Ojinnaka has challenged the funders and the governing council of the controversial Umuaka based security outfit known as Aka Ebe Iri Security to compensate Mr Uche Amadi who narrowly escaped death after being stabbed on his stomach by another Akalite attached to the security outfit.
From what Umuaka Times gathered, trouble stated last week when Uche Amadi and two of his co-workers went to Amiyi community where they had a job in the building of one Amiyi born chief whose identity is yet to be identified to continue the job the chief gave to them. Also on their agenda was to collect a debt of N50,000 from the man also. According to what Umuaka Times gathered from the boys, when the chief received a call from them that they were around to collect the N50,000 debt, he allegedly accused them of stealing a bag of cement from the construction site and thereafter invited Aka Ebe Iri security to arrest them.
It was alleged that on the arrival of the security outfit, they ordered the boys into their security vehicle but the boys refused, asking them to explain the reasons for their forceful arrest. This was said to have led to a brawl between the security officials and the boys. In a fit of anger, a member of Aka Ebe Iri security outfit allegedly stabbed Uche Amadi on is stomach with a dagger.
Eyewitnesses who were at the scene of the crime raised an alarm after seeing blood gushing out from Uche Amadi’s stomach and out of fear, the security outfit rushed Amadi to Santa Maria Hospital for immediate treatment.
Reacting to the incident, Prince Debo Ojinnaka condemned the attack on the innocent boy and challenged the people responsible for his attack as well as their handlers to compensate him with a sum not lesser than N5 million after paying his hospital bill. He further raised fears that the stomach injury sustained by Amadi was capable of leading to his death later in his years ahead as he grows older.
Ojinnaka expressed reservations that if the incident had happened in the United States, the home base of the funders of the security outfit, the outfit would have been made to pay compensation of a large sum of money between 200 and 500 thousand dollars.
In a recent voice message which emerged last week, a voice was heard behind the video where the sum of N10, 000 was donated to Mr Uche Amadi by the outfit after paying his N150, 000 hospital bill. Umuaka Times efforts to speak with the handlers of the security outfit last week were unsuccessful as they stylishly backed out from the interviews.
