On Monday, prior to the death of an apex youth organisation in Orlu senatorial zone, the Orluzurumee youths has urged security officials to unveil the incessant insecurities in the zone.
Barr Darlington Odumee, was shot dead in Imo State, last Thursday.
The group expressed sadness that Barr Darlington Odumee was killed at his prime and when his services are needed most.
Comrade Desmond Ugwumba, National Secretary of Orluzurumee Youths, gave the mandate on Monday in Owerri, Imo State.
The group said Odumee’s death is one too many of the insecurity that has bedeviled the Orlu zone in recent times.
The group said, ‘We implore the stakeholders in Orlu zone to find a lasting solution to the insecurity that has bedeviled the most populous senatorial district in Imo state.
“The stakeholders should work hand in glove to ensuring that the security road map wherein the Orluzurumee youths are proposing is successful.
“The late Odumee was a vibrant counsel from Orlu zone who was so passionate for social development and economic wellbeing of his people. He was part of Orlu youths who are so anxious to redress the recent insecurity situation in our zone but unfortunately, he was consumed by the very issue he tried to tackle in his little capacity.”
“Barr Omekagu as he was fondly called will be missed by many both in Orlu zone, Imo State, and Nigerian in general especially the young family he left behind.”
Recall that the incident came just 24 hours after some gunmen murdered the priest-in-charge of St Andrew’s Anglican Church IhitteUkwa in Orsu local government area of the state, Rev. Emeka Merenu. Odume, a native of Umudara village in Amaifeke- Orlu, was called to the Nigerian bar five years ago.
The lawyer, who practised in Orlu, was said to be the attorney to some of those arrested in connection with the violence rocking the area.
The victim was rushed to a hospital in the area but he was rejected and referred to the Imo State University Teaching Hospital, Orlu, but died on the way to the teaching hospital.
