The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi has urged security agencies to do more in securing the nation, saying that it is unacceptable for innocent Nigerians to continue to be killed in their hundreds within their own country.
In a statement posted on his official Twitter page on Thursday, Obi said the implications of an insecure environment for development are far-reaching, as investors will not consider venturing into a nation where their resources will not be safe and secured.
He also urged critical stakeholders including, traditional, Christian, and Muslim leaders to continue pushing for peace among their people in the way and manner they conduct themselves.

Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, has issued a one-week ultimatum to the Department of the State Security Service (DSS) to either charge the detained suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele to Court or set him free.
The Judge issued the order while delivering a ruling in a fundamental human rights suit instituted against the DSS and others by Emefiele.
The judge said Emefiele hasn’t shown that his arrest and investigation is unlawful, but noted that it is within his right to get a fair hearing.
Justice Muazu further stated that the suspended CBN governor can’t remain in detention without a formal charge, adding also that the DSS can’t use the period of Emefiele’s detention to search for evidence against him.
