A member of the House of Representatives, Onofiok Luke, has mourned a young entertainer, Godwin Thomas, who was shot dead November last year at a traditional marriage in Akwa Ibom State allegedly by a police officer.
“As your representative in the National Assembly working with your representative in the state Assembly Rt. Hon. Aniefiok Dennis, we are doing our best to ensure that your death is not in vain.When PREMIUM TIMES, Saturday, contacted Mr Luke, a former speaker of Akwa Ibom House of Assembly, to find out what steps were being taken to bring Mr Thomas’ killer to justice, he said would not comment on the matter since it was “a subject of investigation”.
Mr Dennis, who said there is now an autopsy report to aid in the investigation, urged the police to conclude their investigation and ensure that justice is done. Governor Emmanuel is said to have been enraged over the killing and has asked that the culprit be prosecuted. “If the police refuse to investigate, call in civil society organisations to demand an investigation and, of course, they would generate the heat and the police would investigate.
