The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), today condemned the assassination of two Labour Party candidates in Imo State and women leader in Kaduna State within the space of four weeks.
National Coordinator of the association, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement, noted that the dominant and mainstream political parties are scared of the different credible opinion polls conducted by independent pollsters indicating the invincibility of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.
The group called on security agencies to arrest the perpetrators of the heinous act and not sweep the political killings under the carpet as inaction may fuel more of the act.
The group also criticised the heads of the security agencies for allegedly acting like collaborators pretending to be overwhelmed by the activities of these assasins especially in Imo State and other South Eastern states of Nigeria.
