Former Presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad, has urged the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, to condemn the jungle justice meted out to two persons in Anambra State.
Naija News reported that irate mobs in the main market, Onitsha, Anambra State, on Wednesday, set ablaze two suspected criminals who were allegedly terrorizing residents of Sokoto Road.
The suspects were accused of involvement in illegal revenue collection.
However, Peter Obi, on Thursday morning, November 2, took to his X handle to speak about the incessant fire incidents across the country and failed to condemn the recent incident.
Reacting to the post, Bashir pleaded with the former Governor of Anambra state to condemn the jungle justice recorded in his state.
He noted that the horrific incident should be condemned by everyone, asking Peter Obi to speak to residents of the state since they listen to him.
He wrote: “Please, Peter Obi, condemn the horrific act against Chinedu and Omama, who were burnt alive by headless mob in Anambra. Please register your voice and address them since they listen to you.
“For humanity’s sake, condemn violence and cruelty no matter how some people may see it, regardless of the location or the individuals involved. The recent tragic incident in Anambra, where Chinedu and Omama were forcefully burned alive, was, as I said earlier, horrific and traumatic, and should be denounced by all who value human life.
“It’s disheartening to see that some individuals have chosen to respond to my condemnation with negativity and insensitivity, suggesting that previous incidents should dictate our responses to new atrocities. But Bashir will never be caged by their blackmail.
“Each act of violence is a tragedy in its own right, and as responsible citizens, it is our duty to speak out and advocate for a society where such heinous acts have no place.
“For the record, I will never condone any form of violence, hate, or cruelty, now and always.”
