Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, on Friday, addressed youths of the state who visited him at the Government House, Enugu, to press further their demand for the #EndPoliceBrutality in Nigeria, lending his support to the state government’s position as earlier presented by his deputy, Mrs. Cecilia Ezeilo, on Tuesday, as well as the decisions of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.
Ugwuanyi, who described the protest as a solemn moment for the country, called for prayers and a minute silence for the departed souls of victims of extra-judicial killings in the country.
The governor, who was accompanied by his deputy, Mrs. Ezeilo, commended protesting youths for their peaceful conduct and urged them to remain law-abiding.
He, therefore, promised them that his administration will intervene and look into their demands, accordingly.
