A Civil Society Organisation under the aegis of Women Standing Together have appealed to the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun to intervene in the case of Late Khadijat Yahaya who was murdered in Kogi State and bring the perpetrators to book.
Addressing Journalist at a peaceful protest in Abuja, the Co-Converner of the Group, Barrister Pereagbe Ekpede stated that the protest became necessary due to the fact that two months after Late Khadijat was gunned down by Armed thugs allegedly in the convoy of the Kogi State Social Democratic Party’s Governorship Candidate, Muritala Ajaka, Justice was yet to be served.
While raising concerns over the uncooperative deposition of the SDP Governorship candidate, Murtala Ajaka to Police investigations on the matter, Barr. Ekpede stated that Justice must be served and the perpetrators irrespective of Political affiliation be prosecuted.
She added that the Laws protecting women must be obeyed as the group will not relent until they secure Justice.
The Group further condemned the politics of ethnicity and religion on Kogi State and called for a hitch free 11th November Governorship elections.
