Reactions have continued to trail \u00a0the abduction and \u00a0gruesome murder of Mr. Ken Atsuwete a Port Harcourt based right activist who was murdered at his home by suspected assassins.<\/p>\n
The latest reaction is coming from two Abuja-based lawyers who described the killing as disturbing and alarming.<\/p>\n
One of the lawyers, Mrs Maureen Ajogo expressed shock noting that the killing is quite shocking and disheartening.<\/p>\n
She added that the situation calls for renewed efforts to protect lives and property.<\/p>\n
“This is a frightening reminder that the hard-won right to seek justice for human right violations is under attack.<\/p>\n
“Law enforcement agencies must initiate and lead prompt investigations into this kind of incident to forestall future occurrences,\u201d Ajogo said.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Mr Ifeanyi Moses, called for transparent process of investigating and prosecuting those responsible for the act to reassure the people of their safety.<\/p>\n
Moses said that Atsuwete\u2019s “undeserved death\u201d had not only come as a shock, but had proved that there were those who stop at nothing to ensure justice was not advocated for.<\/p>\n
He, however, called on relevant authorities to get to the root of the matter in order restore the masses\u2019 confidence in the system.<\/p>\n
“It cannot be business as usual when cases of killings are emerging from many parts of the country all the time.<\/p>\n
“The government should urgently conduct a thorough investigation to ensure that perpetrators are held accountable and these killings must stop.<\/p>\n
“To be found dead is a matter that cannot be taken lightly. Government must immediately institute a full judicial commission of inquiry into extra-judicial killings.\u201d<\/p>\n
