Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last elections, says the story of decomposing, headless bodies from Abia state is a reflection of the scale of insecurity in the country.20 headless bodies and countless human skeletons were found around Lokpanta cattle market in the state.
“It unearths how insecurity has continued to ravage many parts of the country, taking innocent lives and killing the economy.“I thank the Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, for taking such a bold step against insecurity in the State. This is highly emulatable.”“I recall facing a similar situation in 2013 as the Governor of Anambra State,” he said.
“Investigation was immediately commenced, with autopsies conducted, before the Federal Government took over the process and asked the State Government to hands off.”
