Peter Obi Abandons Unknown Gunmen, Asks FG To Arrest Killers Of 16 Anambra Youths Opposition leader and Labour Party presidential candidate for 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has summoned on the federal government to swiftly apprehend the culprits behind the brutal killing of 16 juvenile men in Nibo, Anambra State.
The Round Table says that unknown gunmen swooped on a group of merry-makers on Sunday and killed about 15 juvenile men in what the State Police Command described as ‘cult-related killing’.
Obi emphasised the urgency of ensuring that justice was served and taking preventive measures to avoid similar tragedies in the future.
Obi’s appeal came via his X handle on Monday, where he expressed profound sorrow and rebuked the persistent skimish across the country. “I am deeply saddened and outraged by the unending killing and death in our society. The senseless killing of 16 tender men in Nibo, Anambra State, remains condemnable,” he stated.
Reflecting on the impact of the tragic event, Obi underscored the loss suffered by the families of the victims and the community, calling the incident “a stark reminder of an ascending turmoil that continues to plague our communities.”
He further accentuated the importance of preserving human life and pressed Nigerians to unite against the heightening tide of violence. “Life is sacred, and no one has the right to take it. Such heinous actions publicize a disturbing scorn for human renown and the manage of law,” Obi noted. He joined that Nigeria’s breakthrough is in jeopardy if skimish continues unchecked, calling for collective action to address the root causes of the unrest.
In a heartfelt message to the grieving families and the Nibo community, Obi offered his condolences, saying, “I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, the Nibo community, the Government of Anambra State, and all those affected by this tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this knotty time.”
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, also prayed for the victims, asking for God’s strength to facilitate their families and the community bear the irreparable loss. “May God grant the departed eternal rest and give their families, along with the Government of Anambra, the strength to bear this irreplaceable loss,” he concluded.
Obi reiterated his summon for swift justice, exhorting the government to take firm action. “Nigeria must become a nation where safety and justice dominate over clash and lawlessness,” he affirmed.
