Ogboji Massacre: Moghalu Decries Rising Insecurity In Anambra

The Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate for Anambra State, Dr. George Moghalu, has expressed deep sorrow and outrage over the killing of several residents in Ogboji community, Orumba South Local Government Area.

The victims were killed during what was described as a peaceful meeting of non-indigenes, Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) was informed.

In a statement issued Tuesday, Dr. Moghalu condemned the attack, describing it as a heartbreaking reflection of the worsening security situation in Anambra State.

He said the victims, many of whom were breadwinners and community leaders, were gunned down in cold blood for simply gathering in peace.

“Moghalu said: “I am devastated.

“My heart bleeds for the victims who are fathers, husbands, and young men gunned down while sitting together in brotherhood.

“How did we get here? What has become of us as a people?

“When did life become so cheap that armed men can storm a peaceful gathering and open fire without a shred of mercy,” he lamented.

Continuing, the Labour Party governorship candidate called for urgent and sincere action from government authorities.

He warned that continued silence and inaction in the face of such brutality could tear the state apart.

“We must all rise and say: enough is enough. My heart is with the people of Ogboji.

“My soul mourns with the Ebonyi community in Anambra.

“I weep with every mother, every child, every family left in sorrow.

“This is not the Anambra we should hand over to the next generation,” he cried.

Moghalu demanded that those behind the attack be swiftly identified and brought to justice.

He added that no community in Anambra should live in fear of violence.

“We cannot keep watching blood soak our land while we fold our arms.

“Let those responsible for this horror be hunted down.

“Let our people feel safe again. We owe it to every soul lost,” he said.

Moghalu assured that a Labour Party-led administration under his leadership would prioritize the restoration of peace and community safety across the state.

“No one should die for being part of a community. No one should live in fear.

“We must heal this broken land, and by God’s grace, we will,” he said.
