A total of thirteen people were arrested in the murder of the four students beaten and burned to death in Omuokiri-Aluu
community, however eleven of them have been charged to court including the traditional head of the community Chief Alhaji Hassan Walewa. They have been arraigned at the High
Court in Port Harcourt.
This was announced by the state Police Commissioner, Mr Mohammed Ndabawa who said two people out of the thirteen were
kept behind to aid police investigation. The Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission, Prof Angwe is already in the state to investigate how the four were murdered., to visit the village where the sad incident occurred and also make
effort to meet with parents of the deceased before leaving the state.
He assured family members of the four and students of the University of
Port Harcourt that his Commission would stand by them to see that
justice was done in the case. He said calls have been received from the international community promising that they would also monitor the court process to its end.
I'm glad they are making progress in bringing the perpetrators to justice. We are watching and waiting.
