“That young girl could have been anyone’s daughter, sister, or even mine,” he said, urging security agencies to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators to serve as a deterrent.

Obi further called for stronger policies and community safeguards to protect Nigerians, noting that “our humanity must always come first. Without it, we are nothing but a people adrift in cruelty.”
