Phek, March 27 (MExN): The Chozuba Range Public Organization (CRPO) and Western Chakhesang Youth Organisation (WCYO) today condemned the alleged assault and threat to Pothita Phesao, son of former Chief Minister late Vamuzo, in Dimapur on March 3.
CRPO in a press statement alleged that the accused, a DMC candidate, “without any provocation or incitation, physically assaulted and verbally abused Pothita Phesao who was visiting his plot of land for developmental works.”
Decrying the action of “such a person of leadership stature who has stooped down to such a level…,” the release issued by General Secretary, Vesüpra Luruo and President, Puyoyi Nyekha asserted “This type of unprovoked assaults and threats should not become a norm and cannot be condoned or tolerated in a civilized society.”
The organization further endorsed the ultimatum issued by the Yorübami Village Council, a constituent village of the CRPO. It also appealed to the law enforcement agencies to book the accused so that justice is carried out at the earliest without further delay.
In a separate press statement, WCYO stated “such a person (accused) should not be roaming freely in any civilized society for peaceful coexistence.” Meanwhile, the youth organization pointed out that the police is yet to submit charge-sheet to the court. Therefore, it demanded the police to submit the charge-sheet and arrest the accused immediately on or before 29/4/17 so as not to aggravate things further.
