The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has commended the Rivers State Government for the efforts of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry investigating the series of arson attacks on Local Government Area Secretariats. This comes as the Commission nears the conclusion of its investigation. The group noted that the attacks, which occurred shortly after the successful local government elections, posed a significant threat to the democratic process.
recalls that the Judicial Commission, chaired by Hon. Justice Ibiwengi Minakiri, was inaugurated by Governor Siminalayi Fubara with a specific mandate to investigate the killings, arson, and destruction of local government properties and to deliver a comprehensive report. The Commission, composed of seven distinguished members, was given a one-month timeframe to complete its inquiry and submit recommendations.
described this action as a gross dereliction of duty, creating a security gap that emboldened those responsible for the violence. Calling the security withdrawal an “ignominious and unconstitutional act,” the group warned that this dereliction of democratic responsibilities would be recorded as a stain on the current IGP’s legacy.
expects that the panel's 'findings would reveal the motivations behind the violence.' “The people of Rivers State, and indeed all Nigerians, deserve to know the truth,”
