Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has offered a public apology and ordered disciplinary action against a task force official who manhandled Prophet Odumeje.
In a statement on Friday, Soludo condemned the assault, and promised that there won’t be a reoccurrence.
“This is highly regretted, and would never happen again,” he said.
“I have instructed that the task force personnel involved in the manhandling of Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere (Odumeje) be treated in accordance with the rules of public conduct which he roundly failed to uphold.
“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.
“We will continue to work to actualise 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.”
