  • Obi asked the federal government to utilize all available security measures to rescue captives and end terror.

The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has expressed concern over Nigeria’s escalating crime rate, particularly kidnappings.

Reacting to recent killings and abductions, including the kidnapping of two Catholic reverend sisters, Obi described the situation as “worrisome” on his X page.

Recall that on Tuesday, gunmen kidnapped two Catholic nuns returning from a vocational meeting in Ogboji community, Orumba north LGA, Anambra state.

Obi, the former Anambra governor, condemned the killing of the College of Nursing Sciences manager in Ihiala, stating, “no one is currently spared from the dangerous wind of many kidnappings and killings blowing through many parts of the nation”.

He noted that insecurity affects every Nigerian, impacting agriculture, health, and education, where workers are often kidnapped or killed.

Obi cited examples of kidnapped farmers, teachers, and lecturers, including the recent killing of the College of Nursing Sciences manager and the abduction of two reverend sisters.

He emphasized that these individuals contribute significantly to national development, and their kidnappings and killings are unjustifiable.

Obi urged leaders to address the situation, wondering how many cases go unreported.

He asked the federal government to deploy security measures to rescue captives and end terror, while urging criminals to stop their evil acts.
