Huriwa blames security agencies "audio Killings", of terrorists in S'East
June 1, 2021
Rights Advocacy groups, the Human Rights Writers Association, has faulted the fake alleged killings of terrorists, operating in the Southeast, while killing many Igbo youths in the process.
Huriwa, called on the Imo State Police Commissioner, Abutu Yaro, to carry out thorough investigation to determine, if the men paraded are the actual killers of the former presidential aide to president Jonathan, Mr Ahmed Gulak, who was assassinated on Saturday in Owerri by hoodlums.
The statement was signed by its Executive Director, Emmanuel Onwubiko, partly read:
"The police and soldiers are roaming about the streets of Owerri, and somewhere in Enugu, and even intercepted a church service, just to arrest the entire congregation, for being members of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. But armed fulani herdsmen are having field days in Niger State, Benue State, and North West region of Nigeria, killing, maiming, kidnapping and destroying citizens and their properties, but these same soldiers and police who are actually killing suspected members of IPOB, including Igbo youths, have always carried fake audio of Zamfara forests and Kaduna forests.
police in Imo State blamed the dead man for his unfortunate fate, because in their irrational word, Ahmed Gulak left his hotel room, to the airport without informing the police, and so, had no police escorts. Now the fact is that the acting Inspector General of Police, had announced withdrawal, of all police escorts attached to very important persons, VIPs in Southeast and South South, as previously reported in the media, so how is the Commissioner of Police in Imo State, blaming the victims of an unfortunate assassination for the cruel fate that befell him, when it was the IGP, who announced withdrawal of police escorts?
"How can any sane person accept hook, line and sinker, any conclusion reached by the Imo State Police Command, that had blamed the dead man, if the same police comes up, as they here with the latest tales by moonlight that killers of Gulak, have been killed based on hearsay evidence.
Once more, can one advocate the adoption of 21st century to such an extent, that the police be mandated to comply with global, best practices in the steps they take to investigate crimes including the deployment of forensic investigative skills.
Onwubiko, urged global leaders to speak against the mindless killings going on in Nigeria, adding that citizens are pushed to the wall, they would resort to self help.
