 Main Market Chairman Visits Victims of Onitsha Incident, Pledges Support

The Chairman of the Main Market, Onitsha, Hon. Chijioke Okpalaugo, on Monday visited victims of the unfortunate incident that occurred earlier in the day at the market.


Okpalaugo was at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Onitsha, and Multicare Hospital, Omagba, where the injured were receiving treatment. He commiserated with the victims and assured them of continued support from the market leadership.


Speaking during the visit, the chairman expressed concern over attempts to politicise the incident, describing such actions as insensitive to the plight of those affected. He specifically criticized the actions of some political actors, noting that the focus should remain on the welfare of victims rather than political point-scoring.


“I took control of the situation to ensure calmness. My priority now is to make sure those injured receive the best medical attention. I will keep visiting the hospitals to monitor their progress,” Okpalaugo said.


He also commended the Mayor of Onitsha North Local Government Area, Hon. Amalunweze Tony Nwora, for depositing funds at the hospitals to support treatment, commending the gesture as timely and humane.


Okpalaugo further assured traders and residents that an investigation would be carried out to unravel the cause of the incident, even as he urged the public to disregard false reports circulating on social media about multiple casualties.


“Only one life was lost, and we pray for the peaceful repose of her soul. The priority now is to care for the injured and prevent further tension,” he said.
