INYC Queried Delta State Government On Why Nigerian Soldier Shot Boy At Close Range In Warri
This coronavirus lockdown is taking move lives in ways more than necessary as a tragic event that could have been avoided through understanding has turned into sorrow and death. The Itsekiri National Youths Council (INYC) came ino the knowledge of their brother that was slain by a member of the Nigerian Army and has made a statement to members of the "Fourth Estate of the Realm" in Warri, Delta State.
The attention of the Itsekiri National Youths Council (INYC) and its President Comr. Weyinmi Agbateyiniro, have been drawn to the gruesome killing of one of his members by men of the
Nigerian Army at Ada Val Arenyenka Street, Ugbuwangue earlier this morning in Warri.
The Council gathered that Late Mr. Joseph Pessu, a law abiding citizen and committed member of the INYC was racing through NPA Express Way to go pick his sick father to the hospital when men of the Nigerian Army flagged him down. Before he could apply his breaks, one of his tyres was deflated. He managed to negotiate into the nearby Ada Val Arenyenka Street. As he alighted his car to query why he was shot at, one of the gun wielding officer shot him at close range. Mr. Joseph died on the spot.
The INYC is using this medium to call on the Delta State Government and the Nigerian Army to fish out the recalcitrant and blood thirsty Army officer who used the excuse of the Covid 19 Lockdown enforcement to murder a defenseless citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The INYC queries the deployment of men of the Nigerian Army to enforce a Lockdown against a virus that is yet to claim any life in Warri and Delta State but instead it is the bullet of the Nigerian Army Officer that has claimed a precious life.
We demand justice for late Joseph Pessu. We want the murderous officer to be apprehended and punished according to the dictates of the law. Otherwise, we may not be able to manage the events that will happen hereinafter especially in this period of Lockdown.
Comr. Weyinmi Agbateyiniro
President, INYC

Secretary General, INYC
