Woji: Slain Landlord’s Widow Seeks Justice

Wife of Mr. Kenneth Nyebuchi Eke, the landlord who was allegedly shot by police officers, has begged the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, to bring the killers of her husband to book.
The widow made this appeal, on Tuesday, when the Police Commissioner and his management team visited her in her late
husband’s house in Woji Community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the State.
Eke, who is the younger brother to former Chairman of the Local Government Council, Solomon Eke, was allegedly murdered by police officers who were called by his tenant to arrest him for allegedly throwing the tenant’s properties outside.
The wife who wept uncontrollably, begged Disu to help her that, “my children are there now without a father. I
don’t have any helper; I want you to help me, Sir.”
She insisted that, “it’s a police man that killed my husband, two police man (sic) with tenant, I need justice. I need justice. Sir, I need justice.”
In response to her plea, the Commissioner of Police promised that, “Justice will be served.”
Disu went ahead to confirm that, “those involved have been arrested and that investigation is going on and then everybody will get feedback, that I assure her justice will be served.”
Recall that last Saturday, youths of the community went on rampage as they protested the killing of Kenneth Nyebuchi Eke.
It was learnt by The Tide Metro that an altercation between late Eke and his tenant had led to invitation and arrest of the landlord, before it was alleged that he was shot by the police.
