Labour Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has called on the federal government to declare war against insecurity due to continued reports of kidnappings across the country.
Obi made the call less than 24 hours after the kidnapping of the Anambra State Commissioner for Youth Development, Patrick Aghamba, and his wife.
It was gathered that an aide to the commissioner, Kpajie ABK Offiah, an All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) member, who was travelling with them, was shot dead by the kidnappers.
According to reports, they were travelling to Abuja for the wedding of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s daughter taking place today (Saturday) when they were kidnapped at the Kogi axis of the route.
