LAGOS APRIL 22ND (NEWSRANGERS)-Former Presidential candidate of 2023 Presidential election Mr Peter Obi has condemned the attack on GUO Transport service, killing of its driver and abduction of passengers bu gunmen along Ore-Benin Expressway, Edo State.
Obi in his twitter platform said he received the devastating report of the violent attack on a GUO transport bus travelling along the Benin–Ore Expressway, where armed kidnappers reportedly ambushed the vehicle, killed the driver, and abducted all passengers into a nearby bush.
According to him, “Sadly, this has become an increasingly distressing and recurring story. This is yet another heartbreaking reminder of the worsening insecurity on our highways and across the nation. No society can truly thrive under such conditions of fear and uncertainty. The impact of this crisis now cuts across all sectors of national life and development.
“Small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) are being severely affected. Transporters are losing passengers, while traders and business owners are losing customers who can no longer travel safely to access goods and services. Economic activity is being quietly strangled by insecurity,” he stated.
Obi demands confrontation of the situation and take decisive steps to improve security across the country, especially for ordinary Nigerians who cannot afford the option of air travel.
“We must rethink and strengthen our national security architecture. The protection of lives and property must remain the foremost responsibility of the state. Anything less is unacceptable. May God protect our people and grant comfort to the families of those affected. –PO,” he prayed.
