Abuja (Precise Post) – The Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 general election and former governor of Anambra State, Dr Peter Obi has condemned the reported attack on Prof Charles Soludo.
Precise Post recalls that security agents were said to have been killed in the said attack.
The former governor warned that political violence should have no place in the democratic process in Anambra State, stressing that the ballot and not the bullet should determine the outcome of elections.
He called on security agents to step up as well as fish out the culprits with the view to prosecuting them to serve as deterrents to copycats.
Recall that gunmen attacked Prof. Charles Soludo, former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) who has indicated interest in the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State.
It was gathered that he was attacked in Isuofia, where he hails from in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra.
Three policemen among the security aides attached to Soludo were shot dead in the attack.
Witnesses said that the gunmen disrupted an interactive session between some youths and Soludo at a civic centre in the town.
The National Secretary of All Soludo Support Groups and the Convener of Youths Earnestly Seek Soludo (YEES), Dr. Nelson Obinna Omenugha, said the state Commissioner for Public Utilities, Engineer Emeka Ezenwanne, was abducted by the gunmen.
DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, Police Public Relations Officer in the State, confirmed the attack but did not go into details.
This is the latest in the campaign of violence on security agents in the Southern part of the country.
