The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has confirmed the killing of one of the protesters by security operatives in the Suleja area of Niger State.
This was disclosed by the Chairman of the Suleja branch of the NBA, Abdullahi Liman, following a directive from the national president of the association.
Liman, said he visited the residence of one of the deceased protesters, Yahaya Nda Isah, to gather credible information for further action.
“The national level of the NBA has asked all the branches to constitute monitoring committees in respect of the protest,” Liman said.
He further stated, “We are going around to see what is really happening. I got information that a man was shot dead, and I came to the house of the victim (Yahaya Nda Isah) to confirm things for myself. I have seen the corpse.”
The NBA is now collecting data on the incident to report back to the national level for subsequent action.
“This cannot be denied,” Liman affirmed, indicating the gravity of the situation.
Earlier reports indicated that protester was allegedly killed by a policeman in Suleja, though the police have yet to confirm these allegations.
The NBA’s involvement highlights the seriousness of the incident and the need for a thorough investigation to ensure justice is served.
