YPP governorship candidate condemns murder of Anambra APGA woman leader’s son

The governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the November 8 Anambra election, Paul Chukwuma, has condemned the murder of Martins Onyekesi, an Awka-based fish farmer by gunmen.

Chukwuma during a condolence visit on Mrs. Esther Onyekesi, Anambra Woman Leader of APGA, and mother of late Martins, her only son on Friday in Awka, declared: “We must all condemn this sad development; Martins Onyekesi was a young and vibrant fish farmer contributing towards the growth of the state.

“Kidnapping him from their family compound at Okpuno area of Awka about ten days ago and murdering him is an evil we must all condemn.

“This sad incident, which has sparked outrage nationwide, has brought to the fore the disturbing level of insecurity in Anambra.

“Therefore, there is the need for the Anambra government to rejig the current security architecture of the state to tackle insecurity,” he said.

Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State had inaugurated a security outfit, “Operation Udogachi” to complement state-owned security agencies in tackling security challenges in the state.

The governorship candidate in the company of his running mate, Uzi Okagbue, said that more actions were required to reduce the spat of security challenges in the state.

The late fish farmer was abducted on July 27 before the news of his sudden murder. (NAN)
