Anambra: Soludo Condemns Manhandling Of Odumeje By Taskforce Personnel

The Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo has condemned the manhandling of Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje by a government taskforce personnel on Thursday.

Odumeje was manhandled in a trending video online for allegedly obstructing the task force from demolishing property of the Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry.

An aide to the cleric on Thursday noted that the church is intact, but the fence and security post were affected by the demolition process.

Soludo in his reaction stated that he has directed that the task force personnel involved in the manhandling of Odumeje be treated by the law of public conduct which he broke.

The Anambra State Governor in a statement released on his Facebook account on Friday wrote, “Let me sincerely appreciate ndị Anambra for understanding with us as we take audacious steps towards making our Homeland Liveable and Prosperous. On this journey, imperfect steps will be taken, emotions will run wild and opinions will grow thick.

“What is pertinent to note is that we shall remain undaunted, correct our imperfections, strive to put our emotions in check and aggregate opinions that are in the interest of our overall good.

“Yesterday’s outing has evoked emotions, not against the decision of the government, but the imperfect and unprofessional manner with which one of the task force members discharged his lawful duty. This is highly regretted, and would never happen again. I have instructed that the task force personnel involved in the manhandling of Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere (Odumeje) be treated by the rules of public conduct that he roundly failed to uphold.

“We will continue to work to actualize the mandate you have given to us. Nothing short of the best outcomes is guaranteed. On behalf of the government and good people of Anambra State, I condemn the assault, and further ask for your continued support in the fight to restore the dignity of Onitsha, and indeed the totality of our Homeland.”
