Onitsha: Peter Obi condemns attack on traders, urges scrutiny of security outfits
The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has condemned the attack at Onitsha Main Market which resulted to the killing of traders, including a pregnant woman.
DAILY POST recalls that a team of security outfit attacked traders and killed innocent citizens in the commercial hub of Anambra.
In a post on his verified X handle on Wednesday, Obi demanded thorough scrutiny, proper reorganisation, and strict accountability of those outfits.
Obi stated that the activities of the group must be thoroughly investigated, and all those responsible for act must be brought to justice.
“It is very worrisome that already state backed outfits created to help with security situation are instead worsening the plight of the already terrorised citizens and sometimes acting even worse than the criminals they were meant to confront.
“Last time, it was a different group Udo Ga-Achi Security Outfit in Anambra, that brutally assaulted a youth corper. This time, another outfit is shooting and killing innocent citizens.
“We must have outfits that are well-scrutinised and do not operate outside the law.
“My deepest sympathy goes to the families of the victims. May they find strength and comfort and may the departed rest in peace,” he said.
