Enugu Youths Demand Accountability from Forest Guard Commander

Enugu youths, represented by Barr. Ogbodo Nwobodo, have demanded that Dr. Akinbayo Olasoji, the Commander of the National Forest Guard in Enugu state, explain the alleged presence of unknown gunmen armed with AK-47 rifles alongside his personnel in the Ugwuaji forests. They issued a 72-hour ultimatum for this explanation, also questioning Olasoji's repeated meetings with Mr. Ben Alukwu, an NDC chieftain, who they claim has no ties to Ugwuaji.

The youths accused Olasoji of evading serious allegations of harassment, assault, and land grabbing, stating that his recent public statements failed to address these issues. They insisted that Olasoji identify the armed individuals, clarify their official status, and provide records of their recruitment and training.

Additionally, they demanded to know Alukwu's role in these operations, questioning whether he is a recognized security chief or an authorized member of any security agency involved.
