Governor Alex Otto of Abia State, has Condemned the killing of Mr. Maduka Zakari, a prominent member of the Labour Party, in Uturu, Isuikwuato LGA of the state by unidentified gunmen.
In a statement released on Friday by Mr. Ferdinand Ekeoma, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Otti characterized the brutal murder of Zakari, who was beheaded by his killers, as an act of sheer insanity, barbarity, and cruelty.
Consequently, he called upon law enforcement agencies to take swift action and ensure that those responsible for this killing, whether directly or indirectly involved, face justice and bear the full consequences of their inhumane actions.
The governor expressed deep sorrow over the tragic loss of Zakari, who had distinguished himself as the Labour Party’s campaign manager in Uturu during the last general election and promised that the government would stand by his family and give them all the necessary support required as they deal with this sad loss.
