he, giving a part of his personal experience 

Amaechi said: “When I visited Obirikom, in the Ogba-Egbeme-Ndoni Local Government Area, in the household of the late Chief Christopher Adube, nine persons were killed by assassins. Those killed were his three children, his younger brother, two security guards and two others. Two of the late Chief Adube’s children are still receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.

“There was a day I was arguing with the police commissioner, now posted to Enugu. I said I was told 11 persons had been killed. He said: ‘No, only seven persons.’ Again, in the same Omoku, whether it is seven or 11 persons, these are human lives.

“At Okrika, when the All Progressives Congress (APC) went there on campaign, where the governorship candidate of APC was seated, he would have been hit by a bullet. But God saved him; he had left that place. It was the first day APC went on campaigns in Okirika, and the police were present…”
