From Ezeh Chibuoke
Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi yesterday condemned in strong words, the killing of the former deputy governor of the state, Dr. Chudi Nwike, describing it as not only pathetic but crude and inhuman. Dr. Nwike who until his death was the national vice chairman of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), South-East, was killed in Delta State by those suspected to be kidnappers who abducted him from Anambra and demanded N30 million ransom.
Describing his death as a great loss to Anambra State and Nigeria, Obi said, “by this death, the state had lost another experienced voice in terms of advice about governance.” Wondering why some people could still take other’s life without compunction, the governor said that such acts were vestiges of barbarism the country was trying to wipe out.
He however, stated that such callousness strengthens his resolve to continue to fight crime of whatever shade in the state and further described the perpetrators of the dastardly act as barbarians. Obi assured Nwike’s family that Anambra State Government sharedå in their sorrows and prayed to God “to strengthen them in this trying period.”
