Bianca Ojukwu, a former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain and widow of the late Biafran leader Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has reacted to the attack on Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s motorcade by gunmen in Anambra.
Gunmen attacked Ubah’s motorcade at Nkwo Enugwu-Ukwu Junction in Njikoka Local Government Area of the state.
According to the police, five persons, including the lawmaker’s aides and police escorts attached to him, were killed in the attack.
Ojukwu, who is from Anambra South, said in a statement on Monday: “I mourn with the people of Anambra and Sen. Ubah over the horrific attack on his motorcade.
“Many lives were lost in this satanic ambush, folks who just set out for the day, just another ordinary day, but never made it home, their lives brutally cut short by heartless gunmen.”
Ojukwu added, “Their families are bleeding, Anambra is bleeding. We are all bleeding for this rain of bullets is falling on our collective roofs, and with each gruesome attack, another abominable threshold is crossed.”
