The honourable member was just arriving in Onitsha to celebrate the Christmas season with his family when the assailants struck.
In a post on X on Thursday, December 26, Obi warned that the ongoing insecurity plaguing Nigeria could engulf everyone if it remains unchecked.
"As I have always continued to warn, if left unchecked, the monster of insecurity will consume all of us. These merchants of terror are becoming emboldened in their criminal acts, and if not stopped, no one will be spared.
I sincerely appreciate everyone on the frontline of ensuring the security of lives and property in Nigeria. We must now, however, make more efforts and sacrifices to conquer this monster of insecurity.
I appeal to the security agencies to ensure that Hon Justice Azuka is safely rescued and reunited with his family and that the perpetrators of the crime are arrested and punished. -PO"
