Reps Minority Caucus condemns beheading of Abia elderly couple
The Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has condemned the brutal murder of an elderly couple, Jacob and Comfort Udo, by yet-to-be-identified assailants in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State.
In a statement on Thursday, the Minority Leader, Kingsley Chinda (PDP-Rivers) called on law enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough investigation and apprehend the perpetrators.
The lawmaker said that the beheading and butchering of the couple was most despicable, callous and wicked.
He said that several properties were also carted away from the victims’ house, noting that there is a need for the Police and other security agencies to embark on comprehensive investigations to unravel the mystery behind the incident.
“As a Caucus, it is shocking, and saddening that the yet-to-be-confirmed murderer(s) who are evil with terrible minds, destructive intentions, and satanic attitudes will carry out such cruel, barbaric, and animalistic actions on a peaceful, loving, and happy septuagenarian couple; perhaps old enough to be parents, and grandparents to the killer(s).
“The crazy, senseless, and horrific killing is deeply inhuman, rudderless, and vicious. Indeed, the reports of this dastardly act evoke pains, anger, and regrets which necessitate wholesome condemnation by all and sundry.
“Sadly, Nigeria and its citizens have continued to witness and hear stories of similar occurrences across the country.
“There are incidents of bloodletting and extra-judicial killings unleashed by mean-spirited, and criminally-infested souls on hapless, law-abiding citizens,” Chinda said.
