Former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has decried the spate of insecurity in Nigeria.

 

Lamenting over the kidnap in Benue State and Chief Innoson Chukwuma’s staff, Obi said Nigerians can no longer sleep with their two eyes closed.

 

Obi said it was disheartening that terrorists with no regard for human lives were targeting Nigeria’s critical infrastructure.

 

Posting on X, Obi wrote: “The situation is even added to the harrowing hardship the people are going through yet they cannot even sleep with their two eyes closed.

 

“Just a few days ago, I read a harrowing report about the killing of about 30 persons by terrorists, in separate attacks on communities in two Local Government Areas of Benue State.

 

“Yesterday, I was shocked by the reports of the unfortunate terror attack on the motorcycle showroom of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing in Nnewi, Anambra State, where about 3 members of the staff were also kidnapped.

 

“I sincerely commiserate with all the victims of the terror attack in Benue, and every part of our nation. I also sympathize with Chief Innoson Chukwuma over the attack on his business facility. I urge the security agents to do their best in rescuing the kidnapped workers.”
