Kogi PDP Women Leader: NCWS Calls For Prosecution Of Killers

The National Council of Women Societies, NCWS,, has urged security agents to bring those behind the gruesome killing of  Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, leaders in  Ochadamu,Kogi State, Mrs, Salome Abuh and three others to justice.

The President of NCWS, Dr Gloria Shoda, in a statement on Wednesday condemned the killings and urged necessary action to bring perpetrators to book.

She said, “It is bad that in this time in our country, when the role of women has become more imperative, the nation continues to lose lives, especially women.

“The gruesome murder of Abuh by rampaging political thugs in Kogi on Monday is most outrageous and must be investigated to deter future occurrence”.

The NCWS president expressed concern that the violence that enveloped the state governorship/Senatorial elections on Saturday could escalate to Monday with the killing of the women leader.

 Abuh was sleeping in her home when some political thugs set her building ablaze.

 “This is very bad and I am using this opportunity to call on the security agencies to investigate and ensure that perpetrators are brought to book.

“If 2023 will become a reality in the Nigerian electoral circle, there must be methodological strategies to bring about lasting solutions to the plethora of killings and insecurity witnessed in recent times in the country”.

Shoda, who also condemned the manhandling of   Natasha Akpoti, the candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the Kogi governorship election by thugs, called for appropriate sanction.

Akpoti was said to have been manhandled by some thugs during the signing of peace accord in Lokoja by political parties before the election.
