Peter Obi Condoles With Family Of Slain Fish Magnet, Demands Justice

Peter Obi has paid tribute to the family of Ifesinachi Onyekere, the late Managing Director of Fish Magnet Outlet, who was kidnapped and killed by unidentified criminals in Amawbia, Anambra State.

In a post on his X page, Obi expressed his condolences to the victim’s mother, Mrs. Esther Chinyere Onyekesi, whom he visited to console over the tragic loss. He described Ifesinachi as a promising young entrepreneur whose death highlights the worsening insecurity in Nigeria.

“The Fish Magnet: We must not allow lawlessness to thrive,” Obi wrote. “Ifesinachi was a promising SME operator based in Awka. Tragically, he was kidnapped and later killed by yet-to-be-identified criminals who abandoned his remains in Amawbia. This shocking and senseless act of violence is a painful reminder of the insecurity in our society.”

He called on security agencies to launch a thorough investigation and ensure those responsible are brought to justice.

“We must all strongly condemn such heinous crimes. Government, communities, and citizens must work together to build a safer and more secure Nigeria,” he said, praying for God to grant the deceased eternal rest and give his family the strength to bear the loss.
