Nwibe Weeps Over Nibo Mass Murder, Says No Homeland Under Insecurity
Engr Barth Nwibe, a businessman and philanthropist has condemned the gruesome murder of youths in Nibo Community In Awka South Local Government Area on Sunday.
Nwibe who commiserated with the community described the incident as mass murder which was not acceptable in modern civilisation especially in Anambra where so much value was placed on human life.
It would be recalled that no fewer than 10 youths were killed in Nibo on Sunday when yet to be identified gunmen attacked the community leaving the streets littered with corpses.
The Police Command in Anambra said it was a case of suspected cult-related clash.
The governorship hopeful said the killings was another sad reminder of the degenerating security which was reducing Anambra to a failed state under the current administration.
“It is with a heavy heart and deep sense of loss that I received the news of the senseless mass killing of Nibo youth during the Onwa Asaa’ festival.
“The mass murder is condemnable and unacceptable in any sane society. It is more worrisome that the incident happened in broad daylight yet the preparators escaped unchallenged.
“I want to express my heartfelt condolences to the traditional ruler and people of Nibo for this huge loss,” he said.
Nwibe reiterated his call for better ease of doing business and industrialisation which will create employment opportunities, reduce poverty and keep the youth economically engaged.
He said insecurity had become a major threat to lives and property noting that no state will be a liveable homeland under an uncertain and vulnerable atmosphere.
