The government delegation which was led by the secretary to the state government, SSG, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, and the chief of staff to the governor, Barr. Victor Udeh, among other senior government officials, underscored the sanctity of human life in the state, saying it would not tolerate the killing of any Enugu citizen or resident.

The condolence visit followed the fatal shooting of the popular Ogene musician on his departure from the Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad facility after what the police described as a friendly visit on Friday.

Recall that Governor Mbah had on Saturday taken to his social media handles to sympathise with Igbo-Jah’s family and fans, noting that he had ordered a full investigation into the untimely death of the artiste.

Addressing the elders of the family and the deceased’s young children, Prof. Onyia said, “We have come as a delegation from His Excellency, Governor Peter Mbah, to the family to extend our deep condolences on the passing and brutal killing of your son, your brother and our brother. The governor has directed us to come and share in your deep pain and deliver his message that we will make sure that justice is done.

“The state government will work with this family every step of the way because enough is enough. Every life in Enugu counts, and for us to wake up to such sad news is something that we will never take lightly.

 

“We appreciate the emotions because we see what is going on outside, but we want to importantly commend the eldest in the family and the rest of the family for how they have received us well as a government delegation. You have also shown maturity in working with us.

 

“To the children, his Excellency is saying take heart. We will ensure that justice is served. That is one thing we can assure the family; we cannot sit down, fold our hands, and allow such an incident to go without consequence.

 

“We are really sorry about your loss, our loss. May God strengthen and bless this family as we go through these difficult times,” the SSG said.

 

Responding, the family representative and Igbo-Jah’s elder brother, Chief Joseph Mba, said that Governor Mbah’s dispositions since the unfortunate incident underscored the determination to ensure justice.
