Garricks Anyanwu was my classmate at Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu, a class of 2003 set.
“We are calling on the authorities concerned to fish out the assasins of our late colleague Garricks Anyanwu.
It is unfortunate that Lawyers have become danger spices in our society. Everyday, either a Lawyer is kidnapped and killed or assaulted by Police or assassinated. Enough is enough.”
