Gov. Otti Saddened Over Killing Of LP Chieftain In Abia, Orders Investigation
Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti has condemned the killing of a Labour Party (LP) chieftain, Mr Zakari Maduka, in the state and urged security agents to fish out his killers.
He said this in a statement signed by Ferdinand Ekeoma, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, and made available to ABN TV on Friday.
ABN TV reports that Maduka was killed on Tuesday night at Uturu, in the Isuikwuato Local Government Area of the state by yet-to-be-identified assailants.
Otti described the beheading of Zakari as insane, barbaric and vicious.
He, therefore, called on security agents to speed up action and ensure that those involved directly or indirectly were brought to justice.
The governor, who expressed sadness over the killing of Zakari, said he distinguished himself during the last general election as the Labour Party Campaign Manager in Uturu.
He said Zakari also played active roles as a community leader in fighting kidnapping and other crimes.
Otti regretted that Zakari had his life cut short when he was supposed to reap the fruits of good governance served Abia residents by the Labour Party government.
The governor promised that the government would stand by the deceased’s family and give them all the necessary support required.
He restated his commitment to ensure the protection of lives and property in Abia particular and the South East in general.
He said it was such desire for security that necessitated the recent launch of a joint security Taskforce codenamed “Operation Crush” in the state.
