Onukaba was a highly courageous and forthright journalist who is going to be greatly missed in the journalism profession in Nigeria, as he was one of the best brains in the industry. He was a very hard working and cerebral colleague, whose resourcefulness and depth set him apart for excellence, early in life.
It is unfortunate that he died while trying to escape an armed robbery attack. This incident mirrors the many afflictions of the common man in the present day Nigeria and it calls for urgent attention from all tiers of government, as their first duty is the protection of lives and property of the citizenry. While I commend the States and the Federal government for their efforts at maintaining peace and security, I still hold a strong view that the issue of kidnapping and armed robbery on our roads should be given more attention.
My condolence goes to the family of the deceased, the Executive Governor and the good people of Kogi state and indeed, all Nigerians. May God give us the fortitude to bear this irreparable and painful loss and may He heal our land.
Adieu Onukaba; though you are gone, you will never be forgotten!
Rest in peace.
Signed:
Senator Smart Adeyemi, CON.
