Call for Justice: Mourning the Tragic Assassination of Our Colleague, Chief Jude Oguejiofor, in Nnewi Anambra State.

Chief Oguejiofor was the principal partner at the Jude Oguejiofor & Co. law firm in Nnewi. He and his brother, a medical doctor, were both kidnapped by armed criminals. While his brother was later released unharmed, Chief Oguejiofor was tragically killed by his captors.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Chief Jude Oguejiofor, a respected lawyer and pillar of the Nnewi community. The heinous act of violence that led to his untimely demise is not only a profound loss to his family, friends, and colleagues but also a stark reminder of the ongoing security challenges facing our society.

Chief Oguejiofor’s abduction and subsequent assassination by unknown gunmen have sent shockwaves through the local community, leaving many in disbelief and mourning. As the principal partner at the Jude Oguejiofor & Co. law firm in Nnewi, Chief Oguejiofor was not only a prominent legal figure but also a beacon of hope and inspiration to many.

The fact that such a brazen attack could occur in broad daylight underscores the urgent need for a thorough and swift investigation by law enforcement authorities. I urge the relevant agencies to spare no effort in bringing the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice. Those responsible for this senseless act of violence must face the full force of the law.

My heartfelt condolences go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of Chief Jude Oguejiofor during this incredibly difficult time. I share in your grief and stand in solidarity with you as you navigate through this unimaginable loss. May you find strength and solace in the cherished memories of Chief Oguejiofor, whose legacy will continue to inspire us all.

May Chief Jude Oguejiofor’s soul rest in peace.
