Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, said the brutal murder of Ifesinachi Onyekere, Managing Director of Fish Magnet Outlet, is a reflection of the deepening insecurity in Nigeria.
Ifesinachi was reportedly kidnapped by yet-to-be-identified criminals before he was brutally murdered. His lifeless body was later abandoned in Amawbia, Anambra State.
Obi made the statement, expressed sadness over the incident and called on security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure the perpetrators are apprehended and brought to justice.
“This shocking and senseless act of violence is a painful reminder of the worsening insecurity in our society.
“We must all raise our voices to strongly condemn such heinous acts,” Obi said.
The former Anambra State governor warned that Nigeria should not be allowed to become a haven for lawlessness.
He called on the government, security agencies, community leaders, and citizens to work collectively in restoring peace and safety.
Obi who paid a condolence visit Mrs. Esther Chinyere Onyekesi, the bereaved mother of the late entrepreneur, in Awka, on Wednesday, prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased and comfort for his grieving family.
