In the wake of the recent tragic killing of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, a 400-level student of biological science at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, has expressed deep concern over the escalating insecurity and wave of violence plaguing the nation.
Nabeeha, who fell victim to abductors, was brutally murdered on Friday, sending shockwaves through the country.
The perpetrators, not content with the heinous act, have issued threats to kill the remaining five sisters. In response to this harrowing incident, Peter Obi took to Twitter to lament the deteriorating state of security in the country, emphasizing that nowhere seems secured anymore.
In a series of tweets, Obi underscored the tragic nature of Nabeeha’s killing, emphasizing that it serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive insecurity that currently grips the nation.
He highlighted the increasing vulnerability of Nigerians in the face of these threats, emphasizing the need for leaders to acknowledge their constitutional duty to protect the lives of every citizen.
The former Anambra State Governor pointed out that the geographical shift of these violent incidents to Abuja, the nation’s capital, underscores the alarming extent of insecurity in the country.
Obi expressed deep concern about how the specter of insecurity continues to haunt every corner of the nation.
Obi called on the government and security agencies to intensify their efforts in securing the release of the remaining members of Nabeeha’s family held in captivity.
His plea reflects a broader call for decisive action against the rising tide of kidnappings, killings, armed robberies, and violent attacks that threaten the fabric of Nigerian society.
Commiserating with the bereaved family, Peter Obi offered his heartfelt condolences and prayed for the peaceful repose of Nabeeha’s soul.
As the nation grapples with the loss of yet another promising life, Obi’s words serve as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive security measures and a renewed commitment to safeguarding the lives and well-being of all Nigerians.
