Obi reacted to the incident via a statement released by his Media Office in Abuja on Tuesday.
The former governor condemned what he described as a worsening level of insecurity across the country, describing it as depressing and disheartening.
According to Obi, the terror attacks in Kaduna and other parts of the country had become worrisome and should serve as a wake up call to the government.
Obi called on the government to beef up the country’s security architecture and be more proactive in handling security issues.
He noted that the challenge of insecurity would be too much of a burden on Nigerians already battling hardship and poverty.
He explained that the worsening level of insecurity further aggravated the negative performance of Nigeria’s economy.
While condoling with the families of the bereaved and sympathising with the traumatised passengers, Obi urged the different security agencies in the country to remain resolute in the fight against terrorism in the country.
He called on Nigerians to eschew all forms of violence and terrorism, while encouraging everyone to remain security conscious for the good of society.
