Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, condemned the kidnapping of Justice Azuka, the lawmaker representing Onitsha North Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly.
Azuka was reportedly abducted in Onitsha on Wednesday, December 25, by unidentified gunmen while en route to his hometown to celebrate Christmas.
In a post on X on Thursday, December 26, Obi warned that the ongoing insecurity plaguing Nigeria could engulf everyone if it remains unchecked.
He stated, “As I have repeatedly warned, if left unaddressed, the monster of insecurity will consume us all.
“These merchants of terror are becoming increasingly bold in their criminal acts, and if not halted, no one will be spared,” Obi cautioned.
He also expressed gratitude to officials from various security agencies who have been working tirelessly to protect lives and property across the country.
Obi urged, “We must now undertake greater efforts and sacrifices to conquer this monster of insecurity.”
He appealed to the security agencies to ensure the safe rescue of Hon Justice Azuka and to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice.
