Peter Obi condemned the kidnapping and killing of crew members of Supersport TV at Ihiala -Orlu Road , Anambra State, few days ago. In his words:
The never-ending incidents of killings, kidnappings and other violent crimes across the country have continued to be of concern to many. The situation has continued unabated and is worse by the day.
Non-state actors have continued to inflict pain and sorrow on families whose loved ones are often kidnapped and sometimes killed in gruesome manners.
In particular, I condemn, in totality, the unfortunate killing of some crew members of Supersports TV, who were attacked in a tragic ambush along the Ihiala-Orlu Road, Anambra State, a few days ago.
These media practitioners were on their way to Uyo to perform official duty for their medium and, indeed, the nation when the tragic incident happened, resulting in their death and the kidnap of others.
Two days ago, a few persons were also reportedly killed while some others were injured in a terror attack carried out by criminals in the Agatu local government area of Benue state.
These violent attacks, many of which go unreported, have now continued to define our daily existence in our once-secured nation.
We are gradually losing count of the people who have lost their lives to insecurity in our nation.
How much longer do we allow our people to die before we decide enough is enough?
I condole with the families who have lost dear ones to these recent attacks while praying for eternal rest on the dead and quick recovery for the injured.
We are all in this together as a nation and will continue to demand for the security of lives and property of every Nigerian.
