Peter Obi has paid tribute to the family of Ifesinachi Onyekere, Managing Director of Fish Magnet Outlet, who was kidnapped and killed by yet-to-be-identified assailants in Anambra State
In a message shared on his X page, the former Anambra governor described the late entrepreneur as a promising young Nigerian whose tragic death highlights the worsening insecurity in the country.
Peter Obi wrote:
“Today, I paid a condolence visit to Mrs. Esther Chinyere Onyekesi to commiserate with her over the painful loss of her beloved son, Ifesinachi Onyekere, Managing Director of Fish Magnet Outlet. Ifesinachi was a promising SME entrepreneur based in Awka. Tragically, he was kidnapped and later killed by criminals who abandoned his remains in Amawbia.
This shocking and senseless act of violence is a painful reminder of the worsening insecurity in our society. We must all raise our voices to strongly condemn such heinous acts. I call on our security agencies to thoroughly investigate this brutal murder and bring the perpetrators to justice. Our society must not become a haven for lawlessness. We must all work together—government, community, and citizens alike—to build a safer, more secure Nigeria.
May God, in His infinite mercy, grant eternal rest to Ifesinachi Onyekere and give his family the strength and fortitude to bear this heartbreaking loss.”
Obi urged urgent, decisive action to stem lawlessness, warning that unchecked insecurity threatens lives, businesses, and Nigeria’s future.
