Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has urged Ndi-Anambra not to succumb to fear over the recent attack on Ifeanyi Ubah that claimed the lives of aides and security agents.
He tasked the security agencies to hunt down and bring the murderous perpetrators to justice.
Ngige, who described the attack as atrocious, wicked and evil, said it was a big setback to a relative calm restored to the state in the past few months.
“It is certainly a setback at a time many had thought reprieve has come from the dreadful darkness that lately enveloped our state. However, we must not allow that daylight horror to trip our determination to the crosshair of another cycle of tragedies. Evil must not win.
“I hence charge the security agencies to double their efforts to fish out the criminals as quickly as possible.
“Ndi-Anambra must not succumb to fear but rally round the government and the security agencies to track the criminals terrorising our state.
“I send deepest condolences to Uba over this huge loss. I thank God Almighty for sparing his life while also praying for His mercy on the families of his aides and security agents who lost their lives.”
