0:10
Governor Charles Chukuma Soludo and
0:12
security agencies in the state to
0:14
conduct a thorough investigation into
0:16
the killing of 13 Aoni indigens by yet
0:19
to be identified gunmen while the
0:21
victims were having an end of month
0:23
meeting at a location in Ogboji
0:25
community Arumba south local government
0:27
area of an amra state on Monday evening.
0:31
It was gathered that the incident
0:32
occurred around 5 to 7:00 p.m. on Monday
0:35
when the unknown gunman invaded the
0:36
venue of the meeting with two sport
0:39
utility vehicles SUV and ordered the
0:41
people at the meeting to lie face down
0:44
and demanded for the group minutes of
0:46
meeting before the unknown gunman opened
0:48
fire on the victims with 13 of them
0:50
reportedly killed which the anra state
0:53
police command of the Nigeria police
0:55
force confirmed 10 persons to be dead
0:58
during the attack stating others
1:00
sustained injuries. Residents from Ober
1:03
community in Idamilli local government
1:05
area, a suburb of the Nigeria commercial
1:08
city of Anicha in Anra state also on
1:10
Monday reported a case that a group of
1:12
armed men in SUV vehicles were seen
1:15
chasing after a young man along the
1:17
Anicha Aawary road at about the same
1:19
time of 5:00 p.m. According to the
1:22
residents, the armed men succeeded in
1:25
taking away the man after he could no
1:26
longer run and surrendered to the gunman
1:28
who had made an attempt to shoot him
1:30
around Rojeni tourist game villages
1:32
vehicle U-turn point along the Anicha
1:35
Aawary road. According to barristister
1:37
afainedio for it is with an overwhelming
1:40
sense of grief, deep outrage and utter
1:43
condemnation that I address the tragic,
1:45
senseless and cold-blooded massacre of
1:48
13 defenseless and law-abiding Nigerians
1:50
of Abongi state origin brutally murdered
1:53
in Ogboji town, an amber state on the
1:56
30th day of June 2025.
2:00
This reprehensible and cowardly act
2:02
targeted at innocent citizens who merely
2:04
assembled for a lawful meeting
2:06
constitutes not only a direct affront to
2:09
their fundamental human rights but an
2:11
assault on the collective conscience of
2:13
our nation. It is a grim reminder of the
2:16
deteriorating state of security across
2:18
the country and a further indictment of
2:20
the prevailing failure to guarantee the
2:22
sanctity of human life. The right to
2:25
life, freedom of movement, peaceful
2:27
assembly, and the liberty to reside and
2:29
engage in lawful activities in any part
2:32
of the country are constitutional
2:33
guarantees enshrined under the 1999
2:36
constitution of the Federal Republic of
2:38
Nigeria as amended. The heinous killing
2:42
of these harmless individuals is
2:44
therefore a grievous violation of these
2:46
sacred rights and an intolerable affront
2:48
to the principles of justice, unity, and
2:51
peaceful coexistence.
2:53
I unequivocally condemn this dastedly
2:55
act in the strongest possible terms and
2:58
demand that the Anamra state government
3:00
alongside all relevant security agencies
3:03
immediately commence a thorough,
3:05
transparent and independent
3:07
investigation into this tragic incident.
3:09
The perpetrators of this barbaric crime
3:12
must be identified, apprehended, and
3:15
subjected to the full weight of the law,
3:17
no matter how highly placed or shielded
3:19
they may appear to be. We insist that
3:22
the findings of the investigations must
3:24
not be shrouded in secrecy. Justice must
3:27
not only be done but must be seen to be
3:30
done as this incident if left unressed
3:33
will further erode public confidence in
3:35
the ability of the state to protect its
3:37
citizens regardless of their ethnicity
3:39
or state of origin. To the bereieved
3:42
families, the government and good people
3:44
of Aoni state, I extend my heartfelt
3:47
condolences and solidarity in this dark
3:49
hour. I urge you to remain calm,
3:52
law-abiding, and allow the competent
3:55
security authorities to carry out their
3:58
investigations unhindered. Retaliation
4:01
or the resort to self-help will only
4:03
compound an already volatile situation.
4:06
I have unwavering confidence that
4:08
justice, though delayed, will not be
4:10
denied. I call on the federal
4:12
government, the National Human Rights
4:15
Commission, and all stakeholders in the
4:17
security architecture of this nation to
4:19
rise to the occasion. This massacre
4:22
cannot be swept under the carpet. We
4:24
must collectively say enough is enough
4:26
to bloodshed and impunity in our land.
4:29
The time to act is now. The Nandi Kanu
4:32
former lead council barristister afained
4:35
for stated in a press release he issued
4:37
on Tuesday and made available through
4:39
his personal social media handles. An
4:42
amber state police command while
4:44
condemning the attack said in a
4:46
