Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has condemned the killing of a Labour Party (LP) chieftain, Mr Zakari Maduka, in the state and urged security agents to fish out his killers.<\/p>\n

He said this in a statement signed by Ferdinand Ekeoma, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, and made available to newsmen on Friday.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Maduka was killed on Tuesday night at Uturu, in the Isuikwuato Local Government Area of the state by yet-to-be-identified assailants.<\/p>\n

Otti described the beheading of Zakari as insane, barbaric and vicious.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, called on security agents to speed up action and ensure that those involved directly or indirectly were brought to justice.<\/p>\n

The governor, who expressed sadness over the killing of Zakari, said he distinguished himself during the last general election as the Labour Party Campaign Manager in Uturu.<\/p>\n

He said Zakari also played active roles as a community leader in fighting kidnapping and other crimes.<\/p>\n

Otti regretted that Zakari had his life cut short when he was supposed to reap the fruits of good governance served Abia residents by the Labour Party government.<\/p>\n

The governor promised that the government would stand by the deceased\u2019s family and give them all the necessary support required.<\/p>\n

He restated his commitment to ensure protection of lives and property in Abia particular and the South East in general.<\/p>\n

He said it was such desire for security that necessitated the recent launch of a joint security Taskforce codenamed \u201cOperation Crush\u201d in the state.<\/p>\n

He said the initiative had reduced all kinds of criminal activities in the state, especially kidnapping in the Lokpanta area.<\/p>\n

The governor assured that the security agents would sustain the onslaught on those who desired to build a criminal enclave in any part of Abia.<\/p>\n
