An
Igbo group, Ohaneze Youth Council has threatened the Kano State
Government over its the suspicious manner it let four suspects who
murdered an Igbo woman walk away free.
The four suspects released by a Kano Chief Magistrate Court 20 on Friday, 10 June
The Ohanaeze Youth council worldwide, has threatened to shut down
the city of Kano if justice would not be allowed to take its full course
in the matter.
According to Vanguard, the group insisted that a magistrate court
which has no jurisdiction over the trial of murder cases cannot order
the release of the suspects without the support of the Kano State
Government, describing the act as capable of encouraging hoodlums to
commit more atrocities against Ndigbo living in the state.
The youth group urged Ndigbo living in Kano to come out en mass on
Friday 11th November, 2016, to protest against the judgment which saw
Agbahiwe’s suspected killers released from detention, adding that its
National President, Mazi Okechukwu isiguzoro, will lead the protest.
The National Secretary and Public Relations Officer of Ohaneze
Youth Council, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike and Hon. Obinna Adibe, respectively,
revealed further that it would take all lawful means to ensure that the
killers are made to answer for their crimes, and expressed optimism that
the appellate court will serve justice on the matter.
It further called on the Chairman of APC Governors forum, Owelle
Rochas Okorocha to urge his Kano state counterpart to ensure that
Agbahiwe’s killers do not escape justice as well as the protection of
lives and properties of non indigenes living in the city.
