“It deeply pains me to write this due to the circumstances surrounding Princess Nwamaka’s death. As a practicing lawyer and a patriotic Nigerian dedicated to creating a better society, she had traveled home for the Christmas holidays but had to return to Abuja for a court case. After attending evening Mass, she was abducted on her way home and brutally murdered.”
Obi remarked that the kidnap of Chigbo is a display of the level of insecurity in the country. He reminded the government that the security of citizens is their primary duty and further urged them to bring the perpetrators of such evil act to justice.
“Princess Nwamaka’s abduction and murder highlight the alarming level of insecurity in our country. As we mourn her tragic passing, I urge the police authorities to ensure that those responsible for Princess Nwamaka’s death are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice.
“For the government, this serves as yet another wake-up call to prioritize the safety of Nigerians above politics and propaganda. Ensuring the security of citizens is the primary duty of any government, and it is within our reach,” Obi stated.
