Mrs Esther Chinyere Onyekesi, mother of the late CEO of Fish Magnate Group, Martins Ifesinachi Onyekesi, has broken her silence on her son’s killing, dismissing claims linking Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, to the incident.
The APGA Woman Leader in the state said her son’s death, which occurred after he was abducted last month despite a reported ransom payment, was a targeted attack.
“They waited for him while he was coming home, and as he alighted from his car to open the gate, they attacked him. I believe it was a targeted attack,” she told members of the Geeks and Founders Alliance for Soludo (GEFAS) who visited her home.
Responding to allegations by activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, Mrs Onyekesi said, “Governor Soludo is not in any way responsible for the death of my son. We all know that Anambra is now better in terms of security than Soludo met it. I have heard such remarks that the governor was responsible for my son’s death, but it’s all lies. Will Soludo come to every home to mount guard?”
She added that the governor personally reached out on the night her son was abducted, connecting her with the state’s Commissioner of Police in efforts to rescue him.
Mrs Onyekesi alleged that some politicians had tried to exploit her son’s death for political gain.
“I have been visited by several persons, including politicians who want to turn the whole thing into politics. Some of them I see, others I refuse to see, but I have rejected every move to make it political. I dare say that the governor is doing his best in security, and Anambra is better than what it used to be,” she maintained.
The remains of Martins Onyekesi will be interred on August 28, 2025, in his hometown, Ikenga, Aguata Local Government Area.
