Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election, Peter Obi has lamented the high rate of crime, especially kidnapping, in the country, saying that the situation is becoming worrisome.<\/p>\n

Obi was reacting to recent cases of killings and kidnapping, including the abduction of two Catholic reverend sisters by unknown gunmen.<\/p>\n

The sisters were kidnapped on Tuesday along Ufuma Road in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.<\/p>\n

The former Anambra State governor, who also condemned the killing of the Manager of the College of Nursing Sciences, Ihiala, said, \u201cno one is currently spared from the dangerous wind of many kidnappings and killings blowing through many parts of the nation\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Nigerian feels the heat of insecurity, which has continued to affect every aspect of our nation, from the agricultural sector, where farmers are often chased out of their farmlands, to the health and educational sectors, where critical workers are often kidnapped or killed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is exemplified by the constant kidnapping and, sometimes, killing of our farmers, teachers and lecturers in different schools and universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust recently, the Manager of the College of Nursing Sciences, Ihiala, was killed. Yesterday, 2 Reverend Sisters, one a Principal and the other a teacher who works in our different schools in Anambra state were again kidnapped.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are people contributing immensely to our national development through their sacrifices in farms, educational and health facilities in different remote villages. Nothing justifies these kidnaps, and killings, as well as those of many Nigerians who suffer the same fate daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis worrisome situation continues to demand urgent attention from us, the leaders. One wonders if the reported cases of kidnapping and killings are this much, then how many go unreported?<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, I appeal to the government to employ every security arsenal at its disposal to end this menace and ensure the safe rescue of those in captivity,\u201d Obi added.<\/p>\n
