The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has condemned the killing of a chieftain of the Labour Party, Maduka Zakari, in Uturu, Isuikwuato LGA of the state by yet-to-be-identified attackers.

In a statement released this Friday, Otti described the murder of Zakari, who was beheaded by his killers as insane, barbaric, and vicious.

He said the Late Zakari distinguished himself during the last general election as the Labour Party campaign manager in Uturu, and played active roles as a community leader in fighting kidnapping, expressing sadness that his life was cut short before he could reap the fruits of good governance being initiated by the new government.

The governor called on security agents from different security agencies to swing into action to ensure that everyone involved in the killing is brought to justice, and assured Zakari’s family that his government would stand by them and give them all the necessary support.
