Senator Chimaraoke Nnamni (Enugu East) has condemned the rape and murder killing of an expectant mother, Mrs. Regina Mba at Emene, Enugu State.
Mrs. Mba’s assailants reportedly ripped her open and went away with her unborn baby, a development Senator Nnamani described as barbarous and horrendous.
In a statement on Sunday, Nnamani said: “The recent spate of killings in Igboland, the latest being in my own constituency of Enugu East where Rev. Paul Offu and pregnant Regina Mba were murdered is barbarous and horrendous.

“I condemn the odious and dastardly acts, and extend my heartfelt commiseration to the bereaved families.”
Nnamani called on political leaders and other stakeholders to work for the sustenance of peace and good governance.
The Enugu State government has ordered that an autopsy be done on Mrs. Mba’s body.
A statement at the weekend by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Simon Ortuanya, said the autopsy would assist security agencies in their ongoing investigation.
The statement added that the autopsy would be done at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) Teaching Hospital.
