The Governor of Delta State and Vice-Presidential Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, yesterday, deplored the gruesome murder of a medical doctor, Uyi Iluobe, in a hospital in the state.
The deceased was allegedly attacked and killed by the relatives of his patient at a hospital in Oghara in Ethiope West Local Council of the state.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Olisa Ifeajika, in Asaba, the governor said the act of the assailants was barbaric and reprehensible.
He charged security agencies to intensify investigation into the killing and to leave no stone unturned to fish out his assailants and bring them to justice.
According to the governor, the killing of the medical doctor was unjust and unprovoked, adding that it was an act by agents against peace and progress in the state and should be flayed by every well-meaning citizen of Delta.
He commiserated with the family of the deceased and called on residents in the state to be vigilant and report all criminal-related activities to security agencies.
The governor warned criminals to leave the state, saying that every criminal act would be tracked, unravelled and prosecuted.
“As a government, we will support the security agencies to do everything possible to unearth those behind his killing and bring them to justice.
“As Deltans, we have a duty to report all crimes and criminality around us to security agencies for prompt action, and I therefore, urge all Deltans to be part of the process of ridding the state of criminal elements,” he said.
