The Traditional Ruler of Anunu Ukwu Ancient Kingdom in Obingwa Local Government Area, in Abia State, Eze Paulson Nwankwo, has called on youths in the area to abandon any plans of revenge following the death of Miss Wendy Achumba at her lodge in Umudara Village, Umulogho Community, Obowo Local Government Area of Imo State.
Eze Nwankwo, who made the appeal on Friday, warned that any reprisal action could lead to further violence, stressing the need for restraint as security agencies continue investigations into the incident.
“Such revenge may cause more harm,” the monarch said, noting that two suspects linked to the case had already been arrested by the Imo State Police Command.
He described the death of the student nurse as unfortunate and urged traditional authorities and community leaders in the area where the incident occurred to cooperate with law enforcement by providing credible information that could assist in apprehending other suspects.
