Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, on Wednesday placed N20 million bounty on killers of Dr. Chike Akunyili, husband of late Minister of Information, Prof. Dora Akunyili.
Obiano during a live broadcast said the bounty is to reinforce the government’s commitment and seriousness on this issue stressing that the people behind the killing; must be unmasked and brought to book.
The governor urged the people to report to the government anybody bearing a firearm who is not a security or vigilante personnel so that government could deal with the monster, once and for all.
He said, “I wish to most heartily condole with the families of all those who have lost their loved ones in the course of these senseless attacks.
“I promise you that we will leave no stone unturned in getting justice for them. May their souls rest in peace. Finally, I urge all citizens of the state to unite in this fight against all forms of terror, intimidation and tyranny.”
Dr. Akunyili, the husband of the late Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Prof. Dora Akunyili, was murdered on Tuesday evening by unknown gunmen at Umuoji in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, hours after attending an event at Onitsha, where the University of Nigeria Nsukka Alumni Association (UNAA) honoured his wife posthumously.
