Member of the House of Reps, Engr. Chris Emeka Azubogu is mourning the unfortunate death of one of his drivers who was killed by unknown gunmen in a broad daylight Thursday in Anambra State, South East Nigeria.
The mourner therefore calls on the security agencies to beef up security around the Southeast, particularly in Anambra State, as the security challenges are becoming very threatening.
A statement from the Lawmaker’s media office gives a vivid account of what happened :-
“About 3.30 pm this afternoon of September 30, 2021, Unknown Gunmen, attacked his convoy, killing one of the drivers and hurting another.
“The lawmaker representing Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency was not in the convoy at the time of the attack, neither has it been ascertained yet that it was premeditated.
“My heart bleeds for the loss of one of my drivers and my sympathy is with the family. On same hand, I am calling on security agencies to step up their game. We can no longer treat the issue of security in Anambra State at this critical time with kid gloves. People responsible for wasting the lives of innocent citizens should not be given room to achieve their devilish acts.”
“Meanwhile, his team is keenly following developments and keeping her nose on the ground, as security agents commence investigations”, the statement concludes.
