The Forum of South-East Academic Doctors (FOSAD) strongly condemns the brutal and senseless murder of Dr. Osita Fabian Chinedu, a distinguished lecturer in the Department of Business Administration, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. This horrific incident, reportedly perpetrated by heartless car snatchers, is a grave assault not just on the academic community, but on the values of peace and security that every society should uphold.
Dr. Osita Fabian Chinedu was an erudite scholar and an invaluable asset to the academic community. His untimely death is a tragic loss to his family, the university, and the entire South-East region. It is deeply disheartening that an individual committed to the development of education and human capital in our country would meet such a cruel and untimely end at the hands of criminals.
The Forum of South-East Academic Doctors expresses its profound grief and extends its condolences to Dr. Chinedu’s family, colleagues, and students who are left to grapple with this devastating loss. We demand that justice be served swiftly.
We call on His Excellency, Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, to ensure that all security agencies intensify efforts to fish out the perpetrators of this heinous crime and bring them to book without delay. The security of lives and property in Anambra State and the South-East region as a whole must remain a top priority.
This tragedy underscores the urgent need for the state government and relevant security authorities to take decisive action against rising insecurity, particularly the alarming activities of car snatchers and other criminal elements threatening peace in our society. It is time to restore confidence among residents, including academic professionals who contribute so much to the growth and progress of our region.
FOSAD will continue to monitor the situation closely and will not rest until justice is done for Dr. Osita Fabian Chinedu. We reiterate our call for swift, transparent, and thorough investigations to ensure that the culprits are apprehended and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
The Forum also calls on all stakeholders, including traditional rulers, community leaders, and security agencies, to collaborate and redouble efforts to rid our communities of criminality. This senseless loss of life must mark a turning point in addressing insecurity in the region.
May the soul of Dr. Osita Fabian Chinedu rest in peace, and may justice prevail.
