Non-prosecution of perpetrators reason for constant killings in Nigeria – Anyaoku tells FG

 


Former Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, has called on the Federal Government to devote more efforts in tackling increasing cases of killings across the country.

 

He said the ugly trend had continued unabated due to non-prosecution of perpetrators of the dastardly acts in cases where they were arrested.

 

Anyaoku was speaking at the 2024 Summit and Award ceremony of Merchants of Light School, Old Boys Association Worldwide, themed, ‘Alumni Engagement in the Management and Improvement of their Alma Mater’. The event held in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

 

He said, “The Federal Government should devote efforts to find those responsible for these killings.

 

“What’s particularly depressing is that these killings occur and nobody seems to be held responsible and charged accordingly.

 

“The first thing government should do is to deploy its agencies and forces to apprehend those perpetuating the killings because that’s the only way to address the problem.

 

“If they’re apprehended, prosecuted and punished, that would serve as deterrent to others to continue the killings.”
