Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, (HURIWA) on Friday, called for an independent judicial commission of inquiry into the killing of at least 37
HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement said the government and security agencies, especially the Nigerian Air Force, must come clean on what exactly transpired that led to the mass deaths of herdsmen.
HURIWA stressed that reports suggesting that airstrikes ordered by Military High Command going after terrorists accidentally led to the mass deaths should not be disregarded though the state governor, Abdullahi Sule and the police in the state have attributed the herders’ killings to a bomb blast. “HURIWA also calls for the identification of officials that deceived the Air Force for prosecution for murder. The Commission of Inquiry must also take it upon itself to probe all accidental bombings by the military in the last five years.
