Some 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, who were cursing the robbery suspects when Vanguard visited the
camp, 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.
