A guber aspirant on the platform of Labour Party, LP, in next year’s election in Anambra State, Mr John Nwosu, has expressed sadness over the killing of 12 people in Nibo, Awka South LGA, last Sunday, and called for thorough investigation into the incident.
In a press statement he signed and made available to Fides, Nwosu said, ‘I received with deep sadness, the news of the gory killing of several people in the Nibo Community in Awka South Local Government Area, Sunday, 20th October, 2024.
‘As the true story of the gruesome shooting unfolds, my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the deceased and injured.
‘This extremely sad and troubling incident, underpins the rising level of insecurity in our state. It is simply scary and unacceptable. Citizens expect government to protect them and for those involved in such a nefarious act to be apprehended and brought to justice immediately.
The government cannot be allowed to be derelict in its responsibility to protect innocent and defenceless citizens. We envisage an expeditious and full investigation of this heinous act with a view to bringing the perpetrators to book.’
