The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has canvassed full investigation of Amnesty International (AI) report on killings by security forces in the South East region.

National Coordinator of HURIWA, Emmanuel Onwubiko, made the call at a media briefing, yesterday, in Abuja. He urged the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, to tell the world what he did with hundreds of detainees he accused of causing disturbances in Imo State for which he named politicians as sponsors.

“It is so disturbing that nearly one month has passed since Amnesty International compiled the stories of extra-judicial killings, but till date, neither the South East governors, nor Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed or Garba Shehu had reacted”.“The Federal Government has not also ordered enforcement or implementation of administrative or prosecution actions to confront the police commissioners and officers indicted for their extra-legal executions.

He threatened that the authorities either act on the report or be named in the litigations several local and international non-governmental organisations were already initiating before the International Criminal Court at The Hague, Netherlands. “Just like yesterday’s security breach in the Nigerian Defence Academy by terrorists can be traced to indiscipline, armed non- state actors easily invaded the NDA.
