The former Anambra State Governor is “equally disheartened that the security agencies have not made the arrest of the criminals who perpetrated these brutal acts”.
Peter Obi said: “It is heartbreaking that citizens who simply went out to exercise their civic duties and vote candidates of their choice were brutalized and attacked in such a horrendous and vicious manner.
“Protection of lives and properties is the primary responsibility of government and this responsibility must be sacrosanct including in our dear country.
“It is equally disheartening that the security agencies with the constitutional duty of preventing and detecting crime have not made the arrest of the criminals who perpetrated these brutal acts a primary focus,
“but were instead quick to detect and arrest citizens who are using their right to free speech and social media to condemn the wrong doings of our supposed Leaders.”
