Former Governor Peter Obi has condemned the recent kidnap of 3 Benedictine Nuns from their monastery in Kogi State, calling on government and security agencies to ensure that the nuns are rescued and the kidnappers brought to book.

In a Statement from his Media Office, Obi described the kidnap of the nuns as a clear reminder of how bold criminality has become in the country.

"It is disheartening how our nation has continued to descend to abysmal levels of insecurity. Attacking innocent people in their homes and taking them hostage for ransom is a culture we must not allow to flourish in our nation," Obi stated.

He lamented the heightened menace of insecurity and criminality in different parts of the country, and bemoaned the cost effect of this alarming level of insecurity on development in the country.

The Former Governor called on the government and the relevant security agencies to leave no stone unturned in seeing to the safe release of the kidnapped nuns, in addition to ensuring the utmost security of lives and property in the country.
