The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has paid a condolence visit to the family of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, the daughter of a lawyer kidnapped alongside her sisters and later killed by gunmen in the Bwari area of Abuja.
Obi shared the pictures of his visit to Nabeeha’s family on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, January 30, 2024.
The LP standard bearer wrote: “Today, I witnessed yet another heartbreaking moment as I paid a condolence visit to the grieving family of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, brutally murdered by her abductors in the Nation’s capital, Abuja recently.
“At the same time, I remembered the family of the late Folashade Ariyo.
“May the memories of Nabeeha and all those who have lost their lives to such violent attacks inspire us, especially we the leaders, to take more decisive action against this ugly monster of insecurity.
Obi to Nigerians: Let’s stand up against ugly wave of insecurity
“May we honor their memory by working tirelessly to ensure that no more lives are lost to such senseless acts. Let us believe in the power of unity and in the strength of our collective will. Let us believe that we can make a difference. Together, we can build a nation where every Nigerian feels safe, secure, and valued.
“I greet the afflicted and the bereaved with deepest condolences and sense of solidarity. A nation that grieves together in moments of tragedy will surely rejoice together when we triumph over our current travails.”
It would be recalled that about 19 persons were abducted by bandits from the Sagwari Estate Layout in the Dutsen-Alhaji area in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on January 2.
The kidnappers demanded N700 million ransom for nine of the victims.
The kidnappers later killed four of the hostages, including Nabeeha, a 400-level student of Biological Science at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State, and 13-year-old Folashade Ariyo.
However, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), last week, announced the arrest of the suspected killer of Nabeeha.
