and violation of extant laws on human rights by security agencies in the country enforcing the coronavirus lockdown order, particularly in the South-East states.”
In a statement issued in Enugu yesterday by its coordinator, Prof Joy Ezeilo, the coalition particularly regretted the “killings of a middle-aged man in Ebem Ohafia; another at Uratta axis in Aba; one in Afikpo, Ebonyi State; 12 in Kaduna, among others”, stating that the development was unacceptable in modern times.
“It would be inhuman, callous and insensitive to further dehumanise them. It should be noted that untold hardship pervades the land, prices of food items such as rice, garri and oil have increased considerably in this period.” It went on: “Additionally, we advise governments across the zone to step up awareness campaign on the prevention and avoidance of total lockdown given the precarious socio-economic status of our people, the informal economy, and the large population eking out a living on daily basis.
In a similar vein, the Senior Elders’ Forum of the Yoruba Council of Elders yesterday expressed worry over the spate of robbery attacks across the length and breadth of Yorubaland resulting from the lockdown ordered by government to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. It therefore called on the governors of the six states in the region to expedite action in making the ‘Amotekun’ project functional.
