Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party has condemned the kidnap of the lawmaker representing Onitsha North Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Justice Azuka.
Azuka was reportedly kidnapped in Onitsha on Wednesday, December 25, by some yet-to-be-identified gunmen on his way to his hometown to celebrate Christmas.
In a post made on X on Thursday, December 26, Obi said the insecurity currently bedevilling Nigeria would consume everyone if not checked.
He said, “As I have always continued to warn, if left unchecked, the monster of insecurity will consume all of us.
“These merchants of terror are becoming emboldened in their criminal acts, and if not stopped, no one will be spared,” Obi said.
He also appreciated officials of various security agencies who have been on the frontline of securing lives and property across the country.
He said, “We must now, however, make more efforts and sacrifices to conquer this monster of insecurity.
”I appeal to the security agencies to ensure that Hon Justice Azuka is safely rescued and reunited with his family and that the perpetrators of the crime are arrested and punished,” he added.
