By our reporter/ Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano, on Wednesday placed a ₦20 million bounty on the killers of Dr. Chike Akunyili, the husband of the late former Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dora Akunyili, and others in the state.
The Governor said that the sum will be awarded to anyone who is able to provide useful information to track the killers.
Obiano announced the reward in a special broadcast after an emergency State Security Council meeting at the Governor’s lodge in Amawbia on Wednesday, while condoling with the Akunyili family, as well as families of others who were killed in the attack.
While condemning the attack, he called on residents to join forces with security agencies to confront the common enemy and protect the state, noting that between Sunday, September 26 to date, over 10 persons have been killed in various areas of the state.
Dr. Chike Akunyili was killed by the gunmen on Tuesday evening, alongside his driver and a police escort around the Nkpor junction in Idemili North, Anambra State.
He was said to have been returning from an event where he received a posthumous award of excellence for his late wife when he ran into the hoodlums at Nkpor and was murdered in cold blood.
