Paul Chukwuma Condoles APGA Woman Leader Over Son’s Demise

Sir Paul Chukwuma, the Governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party – YPP, in the November 8, Anambra State Governorship Election, has condoled the Woman Leader of APGA, Mrs. Esther Onyekesi, over the loss of her son, Martins Onyekesi – Fish Magnet, to kidnappers.

Martin Onyekesi, a young and vibrant fish farmer in Awka, Anambra State capital, was kidnapped in his family compound in Okpuno area of Awka about ten days ago, and murdered by his kidnappers. This sad incident, which has sparked outrage nationwide, has brought to the fore the disturbing level of insecurity in Anambra State.

Sir Paul, who visited the APGA woman leader on Thursday, at her family house in Awka with the YPP Deputy Governorship candidate, Uzu Okagbue, expressed profound sadness that criminals could be so audacious to trail the young Martins home and, despite the difficult terrain, took him with them and escaped through such an uneasy access road to their house. “This young man’s death is particularly painful; an only son, for that matter. This is just so sad. How did the kidnappers escape this route? Was there no way they could have been stopped? The boy was a very hard-working young man, so tell me, who did he offend? Those who did this will not escape the severest wrath of God,” Paul Chukwuma said, after he signed the condolence register.

Insecurity in Anambra remains a major issue of serious concern. Nearly one year later, young Anambra businessman, Big Ben, is still missing, and he was last seen in Awka. There is a growing concern that Awka, the Anambra State capital, is fast becoming a prime spot for insecurity.
