Anioma Youth Forum Worldwide (AYW-F) has petitioned the inspector-general of police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun over extra-judicial killing of its member Mr David Elue Nduka by a police officer in Abuja.
The group submitted a petition to Force Headquarters, which was signed by its national president Nnamdi Ofonye, national deputy president Nwachukwu Sadik Enemosa, national secretary Engr. Kabadi J. Kabadi and the coordinator of the Abuja branch Chijioke Isiekwene.
The letter titled: “Petition regarding the killing of Mr David Elue Nduka by a mobile police officer Sergeant Ibrahim Muntari in Abuja” called for a thorough investigation, punishment and adequate compensation for the grieving family.
Nduka was allegedly killed by a police officer attached to a bank at 2nd Avenue Gwarinpa on 21 June 2024.
The victim was working as a security guard at Soarz Plaza Gwarinpa, before he was fatally shot and left to die in the pool of his own blood by the police officer.
The late Nduka hailed from Idumuje Unor of Aniocha North local government area,
They said, “This senseless act of violence has shocked and saddened the membership of Anioma Youth Forum Worldwide and the entire Anioma community both in Abuja and back home in Delta State and we demand that a thorough investigation be conducted to hold the killer Police accountable for his actions.
“It is unacceptable for a supposedly trained police officer, entrusted with the simple duty of upholding the law and protecting the lives and properties, to abuse such privilege and powers by heinously taking the life of an innocent individual in his prime.
“Nothing on earth can justify this, we urge you Sir to use your good office to take immediate action to bring the culprit to face the full wrath of the law to ensure that justice is served for David Nduka and his family.”
