State on Monday evening. It was gathered that the incident

10
00:00:32,479 –> 00:00:35,399

sport utility vehicles SUV and ordered the people at the

meeting to lie face down and demanded for the group

14
00:00:45,439 –> 00:00:49,119
minutes of meeting before the unknown gunman opened fire on

00:00:49,240 –> 00:00:52,320

Enamra State Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force confirmed

17
00:00:56,600 –> 00:01:00,320

18
00:01:00,320 –> 00:01:04,799

00:01:04,879 –> 00:01:08,599
Government Area, a suburb of The Nigeria commercial city of

20
00:01:08,599 –> 00:01:11,719
Anicha in an Ambra State, also on Monday, reported a

21
00:01:11,760 –> 00:01:14,120
case that a group of armed men in su v

22
00:01:14,359 –> 00:01:17,439
vehicles were seen chasing after a young man along the

23
00:01:17,439 –> 00:01:20,079
Inicha a Werry Road at about the same time of

24
00:01:20,159 –> 00:01:24,200
five p m. According to the residents, the armed men

25
00:01:24,239 –> 00:01:26,719
succeeded in taking away the man after he could no

26
00:01:26,799 –> 00:01:29,280
longer run and surrendered to the gunman who had made

27
00:01:29,280 –> 00:01:32,640
an attempt to shoot him around Rogeny tourist Game Village’s

28
00:01:32,760 –> 00:01:35,719
vehicle U turn point along the Inicha a Werry Road.

29
00:01:36,519 –> 00:01:39,799
According to Barrister A. Feiyegio four, it is with an

30
00:01:39,799 –> 00:01:44,159
overwhelming sense of grief, deep outrage and utter condemnation that

31
00:01:44,239 –> 00:01:47,920
I addressed the tragic, senseless and cold blooded massacre of

32
00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:51,920
thirteen defenseless and law abiding Nigerians of a Bonnie’s State

33
00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:56,280
origin brutally murdered in Ogbojee Town, an Ambra State, on

34
00:01:56,359 –> 00:02:01,120
the thirtieth day of June twenty twenty five. This reprehensible

35
00:02:01,159 –> 00:02:05,319
and cowardly act targeted at innocent citizens who merely assembled

36
00:02:05,319 –> 00:02:09,080
for a lawful meeting, constitutes not only a direct affront

37
00:02:09,120 –> 00:02:11,840
to their fundamental human rights, but an assault on the

38
00:02:11,879 –> 00:02:15,639
collective conscience of our nation. It is a grim reminder

39
00:02:15,680 –> 00:02:19,080
of the deteriorating state of security across the country and

40
00:02:19,159 –> 00:02:22,400
the further indictment of the prevailing failure to guarantee the

41
00:02:22,439 –> 00:02:27,000
sanctity of human life. The right to life, freedom of movement,

42
00:02:27,360 –> 00:02:30,199
peaceful assembly, and the liberty to reside and engage in

43
00:02:30,280 –> 00:02:33,840
lawful activities in any part of the country are constitutional

44
00:02:33,879 –> 00:02:37,719
guarantees enshrined under the nineteen ninety nine Constitution of the

45
00:02:37,719 –> 00:02:42,039
Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended. The heinous killing of

46
00:02:42,080 –> 00:02:46,560
these harmless individuals is therefore a grievous violation of these

47
00:02:46,639 –> 00:02:50,280
sacred rights and an intolerable affront to the principles of justice,

48
00:02:50,599 –> 00:02:56,080
unity and peaceful coexistence. I unequivocally condemned this dastardly act

49
00:02:56,120 –> 00:02:59,199
in the strongest possible terms and demand that the enamorous

50
00:02:59,199 –> 00:03:04,919
State Government, alongside all relevant security agencies, immediately commence a thorough,

51
00:03:05,080 –> 00:03:10,840
transparent and independent investigation into this tragic incident. The perpetrators

52
00:03:10,840 –> 00:03:15,520
of this barbaric crime must be identified, apprehended, and subjected

53
00:03:15,560 –> 00:03:18,039
to the full weight of the law, no matter how

54
00:03:18,120 –> 00:03:21,479
highly placed or shielded they may appear to be. We

55
00:03:21,599 –> 00:03:24,800
insist that the findings of the investigations must not be

56
00:03:24,879 –> 00:03:28,800
shrouded in secrecy. Justice must not only be done, but

57
00:03:28,879 –> 00:03:31,840
must be seen to be done, as this incident, if

58
00:03:31,960 –> 00:03:35,919
left unaddressed, will further erode public confidence in the ability

59
00:03:35,919 –> 00:03:39,080
of the state to protect its citizens, regardless of their

60
00:03:39,080 –> 00:03:43,280
ethnicity or state of origin. To the bereaved families, the

61
00:03:43,360 –> 00:03:46,599
government and good people of a Bonnie State, I extend

62
00:03:46,599 –> 00:03:50,840
my heartfelt condolences and solidarity in this dark hour. I

63
00:03:51,039 –> 00:03:54,439
urge you to remain calm, law abiding and allow the

64
00:03:54,479 –> 00:04:00,840
competent security authorities to carry out their investigations unhindered. Retaliation

65
00:04:01,080 –> 00:04:03,759
or the resort to self help will only compound an

66
00:04:03,800 –> 00:04:09,719
already volatile situation. I have unwavering confidence that justice, though delayed,

67
00:04:10,000 –> 00:04:13,319
will not be denied. I call on the Federal Government,

68
00:04:13,680 –> 00:04:17,160
the National Human Rights Commission, and all stakeholders in the

69
00:04:17,199 –> 00:04:20,439
security architecture of this nation to rise to the occasion.

70
00:04:21,240 –> 00:04:24,600
This massacre cannot be swept under the carpet. We must

71
00:04:24,639 –> 00:04:28,279
collectively say enough is enough to bloodshed and impunity in

72
00:04:28,319 –> 00:04:31,839
our land. The time to act is now. The Nandi
