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.

 

Recall 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.
