Peter Obi has extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of the recent massacre in Nibo, Anambra State, where 16 young men lost their lives in a brutal act of violence. In a statement, Obi expressed his deep sadness and outrage at the unending cycle of killings in society, condemning the senseless nature of the tragedy.
"This despicable act is not only a profound loss to their families but also a stark reminder of the escalating violence that continues to plague our communities," Obi stated. He emphasized the sanctity of life, asserting that no one has the right to take another's life, and called attention to the disturbing disregard for human dignity and the rule of law.
Obi urged collective action to address the root causes of violence, highlighting that Nigeria cannot progress if such brutality becomes the norm. He offered his thoughts and prayers to the victims' families, the Nibo community, and the Government of Anambra State during this challenging time.
He also called on authorities to take swift action in bringing the perpetrators of this horrific crime to justice, insisting that safety and justice must prevail over violence and lawlessness in Nigeria.
"May God grant the departed eternal rest and give their families, along with the Government of Anambra, the strength to bear this irreplaceable loss," Obi concluded, reflecting the deep sorrow felt across the state in the wake of this tragedy.
