Human rights activists gave the charge on Thursday in a chat with our correspondent in commemoration of national day of mourning for victims of violent killings.
Nigerians have been urged to cultivate a culture of value and respect for human life by demanding justice for every victim of extra judicial killing in the country.
He said, “It is an irony that people now see death as part of their existence and that is why when the news of bomb blast somewhere breaks and you hear that certain number of Nigerians have been killed nobody is shocked or cares." On his own part, a human rights lawyer and Executive Director, Citizens Advocacy for Social and Economic Rights, Frank Tietie, said the culture for value of human life have been diminished and eroded therefore making it possible for people to believe that conflict can be resolved by killing one another.
“They will not do so because they have failed and unable to grapple with the fact that they are unable to protect the Nigerian life."
