It is very worrisome that National Youth Council of Nigeria(NYCN),Rivers State branch has not deemed it fit to visit the family of Onyekachi Ugiri who was protesting in favour of Governor Siminalayi Fubara as a Youth before he met his untimely death.
Let me assume though not conceding that Amb.Chijioke Ihunwo is being security conscious because his being trailed by some persons,are there no other executives who can visit,condole with the family of the deceased?The action of NYCN so far on this matter in my view is insensitive and smacks irresponsibility.
I call on Governor Siminalayi Fubara to provide succour to the family of the slain Onyekachi Ugiri by directing the new Commissioner of Police,CP Tunji Disu to order a comprehensive and encompassing investigation into the killing of Onyekachi Ugiri with a view to ensuring justice on the matter and recovering the remains of the deceased.
It is not also out of place if Governor Siminalayi Fubara visits the family of the deceased directly or in proxy considering the fact that Mr Onyekachi Ugiri died while protesting in defence of the mandate of Governor Fubara.
Posterity will surely judge our actions and inactions in certain matters.
As an organization that places premium on human life, Centre For Basic Rights Protection And Accountability Campaign has being in constant touch with the family of the deceased since the day of the incident to ensure justice is served.
