PRESS RELEASE!
WE MUST ENSURE THAT THE KILLERS OF LATE ONOSE MUST BE BROUGHT TO BOOK
We, the Civil Rights Council, Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria are saddened with the unfortunate incident of the killing of late ONOSE, the two year boy who was killed by personnel of NDLEA on the 13th of July 2023 around Sweet Spirit, Okpanam road, Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria.
As a Human Rights Organisation, we have not only condemned the evil act, but have concluded plans to expedite on the legal processes to ensure that justice is served and the culprit brought to book.
It is one of our core mandates to help the less privileged in our society pursue justice, using the instrumentality of the law, as well as activating our legal arsenals.
We are by this press release, notifying all the various agencies to use their good offices in making sure that the little boy whose life that was cut short by trigger-happy personnel of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency gets justice.
This is necessary to serve as deterrent to other officers of the law to be modest in carrying out their duties.
Signed:
Comrade Joy Edigbine

Delta State, Nigeria
