Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has expressed concern over the spate of kidnapping in the South-East. The group’s worry comes amid the escalating cases of kidnapping across the five South-East states.
In a statement made available to journalists on Thursday, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike urged the governors of the five states to sit up and tackle the scourge headlong. Okwu, who said the surge in kidnapping and other criminal activities was worrisome, noted that it had become a nightmare to travel through most of the roads. “We are concerned that people now travel through the various roads in the South-East under tension.
“Time has come for the governors to launch a clear collaboration aimed at taming this monster; our people have suffered enough in the hands of these hoodlums, as many don’t make it back alive owing to their inability to pay ransom. “The governors should sit up and protect the citizens which is their primary responsibility. Enough of too many words without action,” Okwu stated.
