Killing Of 19 Policemen: Rights Group Threatens Nationwide Protest Over Silence

Nigerian civil rights group, Talakawa Parliament has threatened to embark on a nationwide protest against the continuing silence maintained by police authorities over the alleged brutal killings of 19 policemen in Delta State.

Talakawa’s Parliament threatened to mobilize members nationwide for protest against what it described as the senseless and mindless killing of Policemen in an evil forest in Delta State.

The group which frowned at the disdain manner the police have treated the gallantry of the slain officers posited that “the Police Authority is docile about the killings of family men that left their houses with the promises of buying packs of indomie  for their children and never return to their various houses.

“Kudos to the local vigilantes in Ughelli who went to the evil forest to search and recover the decomposing corpses of the gallant Police Officers killed while serving this country.

“I don’t know why this barbaric act against the police is not trending in the midst of massacre of Policemen who are to protect Nigerians.

One of the recovered unnamed policemen and alleged victims of the so called evil forest killings in Delta State of Nigeria.

“I remember vividly when some constabulary police officers politely beg one Oyibo woman for money, the docile Police authority dismissed them with payment and left them to read the book of Lamentations.

“Now that more than 19 Police Officers have been killed by criminal herders, the Police Authority decided to maintain grave silence. Where is the Force PRO, Abuja?

“Justice for Inspector Abe and other Police Men who were killed while in active service”, the group stated in a statement.

Concluding, the human rights group maintained that “Talakawa’s Parliament is mobilizing massively for a mass protest if the police authority remained complacent. This was the decision in a general assembly presided over by Marxist Kola Edokpayi, the Spiritual Leader of the Talakawa”.

“Enough is enough,” he warned.

All efforts by Alltimepost.com correspondent to obtain comments from the Force PRO, Adejobi Olumuyiwa and Delta State Police Command spokesman, Edafe Bright failed.

Telephone calls and messages sent to their phones had yet to be answered or replied to at press time, today.
