    “All Nigerians living or doing business in Anambra are assured, of the resolve of the State government to ensure adequate protection of their lives and properties at all times,” he stated.

  • Adegboruwa calls on Anambra gov to fish out killers of Fatima, four children

    Irked by the killing of a pregnant woman, Fatima, and her four children, by unknown gunmen in Anambra State, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has called on the governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, to fish out their killers, as a sacred duty.

     

    Adegboruwa. who made the call via a post on his Facebook on Wednesday, frowned that no reason has been given for the killing of Fatima, her unborn child and four children.

     

    The post reads: “Lady Fatima, an indigene of Adamawa State by birth and Anambra State by marriage, was gunned down by “unknown gunmen”, recently. Her four innocent children were also mowed down in this insensate act of terrorism, recklessly perpetrated without any justification whatsoever.

     

    “No reason has been given and none could have been proffered for this criminal act of brutality, extended even to toddlers. There should be no hiding place for the barbarians; so Governor Charles Soludo owes the nation the sacred duty to do all in his powers to fish out those who killed Lady Fatima and her children, in their prime. The concept of national unity will be a mirage if citizens do not feel safe in other locations different from their places of origin.

    Ebun Olu Adegboruwa, SAN

     

    “If the primitive and evil motive of this mindless act is to provoke rival ethnic war, I urge the people of Nigeria to resist this by continuously holding government accountable to the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities of guaranteeing the lives and security of the people.

     

    “My heartfelt condolences go to the family of Lady Fatima, the good people of Adamawa and Anambra States, believing that in no time, the perpetrators will be unveiled and made to face the wrath of the law, no matter their status or motive.”

    Meanwhile, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kaduna State, has described the killing of Fatima, her unborn child and four children by criminals in Anambra as bad for Nigeria’s peace and unity.

     

    In a statement by CAN Chairman in Kaduna, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, the group urged the Nigerian government to go after Fatima’s murderers and all killers irrespective of their ethnic nationality.

     

    The statement reads, “We have read the story of the killing of Fatima, her unborn child, and four children in Anambra with sadness and disappointment about how evil activities have expanded in our country while good people are divided and silent. Life in our country has become so cheap with the raising of many evil criminal groups in every part of the country.

     

    “Killing of human beings is no longer a serious matter because the people have been divided by tribe, region, and religion which has made it impossible for us to collectively condemn the evil around us or fight the evil we are seeing as a united force.

     

    “CAN cannot keep quiet when evil is destroying the land. We all must know that when there is an injury to one then that injury is to all and evil only triumphs when good people keep quiet and look the other way.”

  • MURIC reacts to killing of pregnant Hausa woman,kids in Anambra

    An Islamic group known as  Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has reacted to the killing of an Hausa woman, identified as Fatima, along with her four children in Anambra State.

    Recall that pregnant Fatima and her little kids were killed in cold blood on Sunday, 22nd May, 2022 by yet-to-be-identified men.

    The condemnation by MURIC was contained in a statement released on Wednesday by the group’s director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.

     

    MURIC said, “We strongly condemn this killing. It is brutish, horrendous and barbaric. No family deserves to be wiped out in this manner.

    “We call on the security agencies to smoke out the killers and bring them to justice. At the same time, we ask all men of conscience to speak up and condemn this killing.

    “In particular, we ask the British Embassy in Nigeria and other Western sources to condemn this ugly incident with the same vehemence that they condemned other killings.

    “In the same vein, we charge all social critics who have condemned other killings to speak up against this latest brutality.

    “We call for fairness in comments on developments in Nigeria. Selective condemnation of evil cannot bring peace either to Nigeria or to the world at large.

    “In the meantime we appeal to Northerners not to retaliate. Vengeance will only ignite a cycle of violence. Nigeria needs peace at this crucial time. Therefore, nobody should embark on reprisal killing. It will only compound the problem.”
