Peter Obi, the leading presidential candidate and former governor of Anambra State, has described recent brutal killings, including the murder of a teacher and the rape and killing of an elderly woman, as deeply shattering to the nation.
Posting on X, Obi wrote that some events wound a society so profoundly that words fail to capture the shock.
He called these attacks more than isolated crimes, saying they point to a deeper breakdown in moral and social values and suggest that the country is losing its humanity.
"How did we get here? How did we reach a point where teachers are hunted and killed, and the elderly - custodians of memory and wisdom - suffer such dehumanising violence?
“This is more than a security crisis; it is a failure of collective humanity. We have become desensitised, consuming tragedy briefly and moving on, allowing indifference to normalise the unacceptable.
“To the families affected, I share in your grief. But grief alone is not enough.
“We must demand accountability and urgent systemic change. If such atrocities no longer move us to action, then we risk losing our shared humanity.
