Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has faulted the position
of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, about the extra- judicial killing in Oyigbo
Local Government Area of the state during the EndS SARS.
Governor Wike made the reaction during his address at the
Special Court Session to mark the beginning of 2020-2021 legal year at the State
Judiciary complex, Port Harcourt.
While expressing concern that people refused to speak about
the innocent people and military personnel killed by hoodlums, Wike said there
was nothing like extra-judicial killing in the area.
The Governor challenged the NBA to file their petition to the panel of inquiry investigating the activities of SARS in the state.
“How will the NBA, that is yet to make a formal submission
to the Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the State to probe the
atrocities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), will without evidence
allege extrajudicial killings in Oyigbo.”
In her remarks, the Chief Judge, Justice Adama Iyaye
Lamikanra, lauded Governor Wike, for providing the State judiciary the needed
funds to ensure people have unhindered access to justice.
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike was accompanied by
his wife, Justice Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of
Sokoto State, Senator Sam Anyanwu and several other dignitaries.
