In a statement in Abuja, the coordinator of the group, comrade Murtala Mohammed said it was unfortunate that the alleged perpetrator of the murder who was arrested initially and handed over to the police was eventually released without being arraigned in court.
According to Comrade Murtala, the alleged perpetrator of the crime has been boasting that with his resources, he can buy his way through any detention.
Comrade Murtala said: “we are aggrieved because Sati Joshua was murdered by an illegal revenue collector who blocked the road and demanded money ranging from N2, 000 to N4000. Worse still, the alleged murderer who was arrested and detained has been released by the authorities without recourse to due process of law.
“We are aggrieved that the suspect has been boasting that he used his money to ensure that the case died a natural death. Even when the father of the deceased, Joshua Maikano wrote a petition to the governor of Enugu state, nothing has so far been down to calm nerves.
“We therefore wish to place on record that if nothing is done about this, there is little the union can do other than embark on a course of action that will draw national attention to the lingering problems of incessant killing of our members with impunity” he said.
