Youths Petition Police IG Over Alleged Killing of Colleague in Abuja
Youths from Anioma in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State have petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, following the alleged extra-judicial killing of David Nduka by a police officer in Abuja. Nduka, an employee of a security service in Gwarinpa, Abuja, reportedly kept money meant for sharing with colleagues, leading to a confrontation and his subsequent attempt to seek refuge at a nearby plaza. There, he was allegedly shot in the leg by a police officer stationed at the location, resulting in his death on June 21, 2024.

The Anioma Youth Forum Worldwide, through a petition signed by its leadership, called for the prosecution of the officer responsible, a thorough investigation, and adequate compensation for Nduka’s family. The group expressed shock and sadness over the incident, emphasizing the need for justice and transparency in handling the case.
In response to the petition, the Force Headquarters has initiated an investigation, as confirmed by the FCT Police Command’s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, stating that Commissioner Bennett Igweh has ordered a comprehensive inquiry into the matter.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
