APC, PDP quibble over homicide of rights legal advisor, ANEEJ urges test

Shooters again struck in Rivers State yesterday, killing a resigned armed force officer, Captain Chukwuemeka Judge Adigwe, at Rumueme Community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Council.

Another man, whose character was yet to be known, was gunned down at Federal intersection, on Agip Road, Port Harcourt.

Then, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have exchanged allegations over the homicide of Port Harcourt-based human rights legal advisor, Ken Atsuwete.

Likewise, a rights bunch, Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), yesterday, hated Atsuwete's death.

ANEEJ's Executive Director Rev. David Ugolor, said the killed Itsekiri-conceived extremist "championed the reason for the discouraged and unprotected and also was in the trenches for opportunity and freedom."

He commented: "Despite the fact that we are disheartened at the suffering of our companion and associate, ANEEJ and the Human Rights Community will stay engaged, steadfast and keep on vigorously seek after the reason and vision for which Ken Atsuwete lived and kicked the bucket.

"Ken Atsuwete was an inexhaustible contender and focused on the battle for Ubuntu in Rivers state and Nigeria by and large."

Ugolor approached the Federal Government to set up an autonomous and powerful board to test the death with a perspective to conveying the culprits of the obnoxious to book.

Streams State PDP executive, Felix Obuah, restated his speak to legislators, especially, individuals from the resistance APC, not to play governmental issues with issues of security. He said the silly murdering of Atsuwete is an extraordinary misfortune to all Rivers individuals."

To Davis Ikanya, APC administrator, the homicide of Atsuwete, who was one of the main direction to APC chieftain, Ojukaye Flag-Amachree, who is right away imprisoned, it was plainly an instance of planned homicide.
