Abia Lady Murdered By Chinese Expatriate For Rejecting Love Advances – Rep Member Demands Justice
The member representing Ukwa East/Ukwa West Federal Constituency of Abia State in the House of Representatives, Chris Nkwonta, on Tuesday condemned the alleged killing of Miss Ocheze Ogbonna, a crane operator at the Inner Galaxy Steel Company, by a Chinese expatriate.
Sources said that Ocheze Ogbonna died after the Chinese expatriate working at the Steel Company located in Umuahala-Obuzor, pushed her down from the crane for rejecting his love advances.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Nkwonta expressed deep sadness on the death of the lady who hails from his constituency, describing the action of the Chinese expatriate as wicked.
He maintained that his constituency is known for peace and demanded justice for the victim.
“Miss Ocheze Ogbonna’s death orchestrated by a Chinese expatriate is a gross abuse of the rules of engagement and a total disregard for the sanctity of human life and an affront on their host community, Umuahala-Obuzor and the peace loving people of Ukwa West Local Government Area.
“This barbaric act once again calls to mind the incessant calls by well-meaning Nigerians that the Chinese expatriates operating in Nigeria do not have regard for human lives and must be called to order immediately to avert the breakdown of law and order.
“I strongly condemn the dastardly act and brutal killing of late Miss Ocheze Ogbonna by the Chinese expatriate who has been identified as Mr Power”.
The Rep Member, therefore, called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, the Abia State Commissioner of Police, CP, Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, the Minister of State, Labour and Productivity, Hon Barr. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), to ensure that the culprit, who, he alleged, is being shielded by the security agents, is brought to book and made to face the full wrath of the law.
