On the 22nd of February 2023, an unfortunate incident occurred in Amechi Awkunanaw, Enugu South Local Government Area, where the senatorial candidate of the Labour Party for Enugu East Senatorial District, Mr. Oyibo Chukwu, and five of his supporters were killed and their car burnt by unknown gunmen. This incident has been widely reported and has caused shock and outrage across Nigeria.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Chijioke Edeoga, confirmed the incident and expressed his grief over the loss of Mr. Chukwu and his supporters. He alleged that the Labour Party members are being targeted for assassination by rival political parties that feel threatened by their increasing popularity in the state and are afraid of losing the upcoming election on Saturday.
The killing of Mr. Chukwu and his supporters is the latest in a series of attacks on political activities and rallies in the South East region of Nigeria. This incident highlights the deteriorating security situation in the country and the need for urgent action to be taken by the government to protect citizens and ensure a peaceful and fair election process.
The Nigerian police have launched an investigation into the incident, and the perpetrators of this heinous crime must be brought to justice. The families of the victims, the Labour Party, and Nigerians as a whole, are calling for a thorough investigation to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.
