September 29, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed deep sadness at the gruesome killing of Dr Chike Akunyili, the husband of the late former Director-General of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Prof Dora Akunyili.
THEWILL reports that Dr. Akunyili was killed on Tuesday evening by some unknown assailants in Anambra State.
Expressing his condolences, the President in a statement issued on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, shared the “pain of the offspring of Prof and Dr Akunyili, their families and friends whose lives will never remain the same after the inhuman and reprehensible act that happened in Onitsha, Anambra State.”
The President, who recalled memories while he worked with the deceased at the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), said Nigerians will never forget the memory of the amazon, who distinguished herself as a courageous, dependable and patriotic citizen.
Enjoining security agencies and leaders of thought to work harder to bring an end to the violence being unleashed on innocent Nigerians, President Buhari assured the “grieving families who lost their loved ones in the incident” that the perpetrators of the “heinous act will face both the judgment of man, and that of God.”
