Mr. Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election elections has condemned the inhumane treatment meted out to a female corps member serving in Anambra State by state security outfit, Agunechemba in Oba, Idemili South local government area.
The former Governor of Anambra State described the treatment as “wickedness and savagery” that has no place in a civilised society.
Reacting through his verified X handle, Obi said he read the report in the news with deep concern and was left ashamed and heartbroken that such cruelty could happen in 2025.
He wrote: “I strongly condemn this act of wickedness and savagery. No society should ever tolerate the abuse, humiliation, and dehumanisation of its citizens, least of all the vulnerable and women. What happened is not only a violation of law and morality, but also a direct assault on our collective humanity. That young girl could have been anyone’s daughter, sister, or even mine,” Obi stated.
While calling for urgent action, Obi urged the authorities to ensure that those responsible are apprehended, prosecuted, and made examples to deter future acts of barbarism.
He further appealed for stronger safeguards and communal values to protect the vulnerable and uphold human dignity.
“We must awaken our conscience and work collectively to build a society where justice is swift, compassion is active, and the dignity of every human being – especially the young and vulnerable – is inviolable,” he said, stressing that “our humanity must always come first. Without it, we’re nothing but a people adrift in cruelty”, he concluded.
The video of the unfortunate incident has been trending on air and showed how the merciless state security outfit members clubbed the lady even with a machete as she pleaded for mercy.
