A group of people suspected to be robbers have invaded
the Crowder Memorial Primary School, Onitsha, where 950 flood victims are
camped and carted away some of the food items and cash donated to them. This came as Anambra State governor, Peter
Obi, yesterday warned against playing politics with the human tragedy that had
so far trailed the flooding ravaging parts of the country, and warned those
involved to desist.
The robbery happened as a philanthropist, Mr. Patrick
Obianwu, who visited some of the displaced persons weekend, urged Governor
Peter Obi to take measures to prevent the outbreak of epidemic in the
communities affected by the flood disaster ravaging parts of the state. It was gathered that two of the robbers who
went to steal at the Onitsha camp were apprehended, while others escaped.
Some of the flood victims, cursed the robbery suspects
and wondered why such an inhuman treatment should be meted out to them,
especially at this time. Meanwhile,
Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has warned that it amounted to the worst
form of cynicism for some people to be play politics with human tragedy brought
about by the unfortunate flooding ravaging parts of the country.
Obi, who spoke through his Senior Special Assistant on
Media, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, was reacting to a statement credited to an
official of Campaign for Democracy, CD, who insinuated that the governor was
making showmanship with the flood issue without doing much.
