IGANGAN: Centre for Social and Economic Rights condemns Igangan killings

A civil society organization, Centre for Social and Economic Rights (CSER) has condemned in strong terms the gruesome murder of innocent Nigerians and attack on private and community properties by criminals in Igangan Ibarapa Oyo state and calls on the security agencies to rise to the occasion to fish out the bloody thirsty vampires and their sponsors.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday 8th June 2021 by the organization executive director Nelson Ekujumi, the group noted that “No justification can suffice for this heinous crime which stands condemned before God and man”.

The group then appealed to individuals, groups, youths bodies, elders, community, traditional, religious and political leaders in Ibarapa, Oyo state and beyond, to refrain from making inciting statements or taking actions that will escalate the tension already generated by the callous killings which is evil.

According to CSER, “We call on the Oyo state government and the federal government to mobilize the security agencies to do all that is necessary to identify and bring to book the perpetrators of this heinous crime which has the tendency to undermine national peace and security”.

The group commiserated with the families of the deceased, the Igangan Ibarapa community, the people of Oyo state in particular and Nigerians in general and reiterates that it is imperative that all stakeholders must not be provoked into taking any action that will undermine public peace but should rather cooperate and assist the security agencies with information to arrest and prosecute the killers so that justice can be served the dead and the society.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Thanks.

Yours Sincerely,

Nelson Ekujumi,

Executive Director.
