Message: <blockquote data-quote="Delicious" data-source="post: 2549" data-attributes="member: 178">Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has asked the hierarchy of the Edo State Police Command to cover their faces in shame for allegedly playing the role of the devil’s advocates for the alleged armed Fulani kidnappers who at the weekend slaughtered the younger brother of the social critic, Omoyele Sowore, Olajide Sowore.HURIWA recalled that Olajide, who was a pharmacy student at the Igbinedion University Benin city Edo State was reportedly killed by suspected armed Fulani kidnappers at the Okada axis of Edo State.HURIWA said, however, that in a dramatic show of shame, the Edo State Police Command on Sunday explained that Olajide, who was killed in the early hours of Saturday, was just a victim of circumstance.The rights group condemned the Nigeria Police especially the Edo State Police Command for now deciding to become the advocates for armed Fulani kidnappers for whatever reason rather than work resiliently to bring the perpetrators to justice.<a href="https://dailypost.ng/2021/09/04/police-give-details-in-killing-of-sowores-younger-brother/" target="_blank">Police give details in killing of Sowore’s younger brother</a>HURIWA described as unspeakable, the statement credited to the Edo State Police Command concerning the dastardly terrorism that resulted in the killings of Olajide Sowore.The rights body said the impression created from the police briefing in Edo State is that the police simply did a public relations job for the terrorists going by the text and the message of the police at that media event.“This colossal and catastrophic policing fiasco is what you get in a Country where merit, competency and professionalism are pushed aside and people get enlisted into important positions in national institutions on the basis of who recommended them for the job,” HURIWA said.“Why should it be the work of the police to defend the activities of kidnappers by saying that Olajide Sowore was killed because he refused to stop? Where were the men and officers of the Edo State Police Command when suspected armed Fulani kidnappers took over the highway and succeeded in killing the innocent student?”HURIWA once more canvassed a total reform of the Nigeria Police Force and the establishment of State Police to stop terrorists, kidnappers and armed herdsmen from overrunning the entire country.<a href="https://dailypost.ng/2021/09/06/edo-police-goofed-for-explaining-why-gunmen-killed-olajide-sowore-huriwa/" target="_blank">Edo police goofed for explaining why gunmen killed Olajide Sowore – HURIWA</a><a href="https://dailypost.ng/2021/09/06/edo-police-goofed-for-explaining-why-gunmen-killed-olajide-sowore-huriwa/" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></blockquote>
