Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has condemned the killing of two staff members of the United States of America Embassy, and two policemen in Anambra state.
The U.S embassy staff members were attacked at Ogbaru Local Government Area in Anambra state, while on a humanitarian aid mission to the state on Tuesday May 16. Peter Obi, in a series of tweets on Wednesday, has commiserated with the deceased’s family, the United States Embassy and other Charitable International Agencies involved.
He stated, that “Nothing can be more deplorable than that somebody has to die while rendering a charity job for a people and a nation in need. The rising crime rate in our community and country, is not unconnected with the frightening rising poverty level and unemployment of youths in our land, which is a consequence of a prolonged leadership failure over the years”.
He urged Security Agencies to leave no stone unturned, in ensuring that the perpetrators of the wicked and abominable acts, are fished out and made to face the full wrath of the law.
