The Civil Society Organization on Community Advancement and Humanitarian Empowerment Initiative (CSCHEI) has condemned the recent killings of travelers from Kano State in Edo State, expressing deep sorrow over the act.
A statement issued by the Director-General of CSCHEI, Kunle Yusuff, MON, said, “We are deeply shocked and saddened by the gruesome killing of travelers from Kano State in Edo State. This senseless act of violence has left us all in a state of mourning.”
The organisation offered condolences to the families of the victims and the people of Kano, stating, “No one deserves to lose their life in such a brutal manner. We pray that the souls of the departed rest in peace.”
CSCHEI, however, has called on the Edo State Government and the Nigeria Police Force to take immediate and decisive action, demanding that they “conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the killings,” “identify and prosecute the perpetrators,” and “provide adequate compensation and support to the families of the victims.”
Additionally, the organisation urged the Federal Government to take concrete steps to address the rising wave of violence and insecurity across the country, declaring, “Enough is enough.”
Meanwhile, as the nation mourns the loss of innocent lives, CSCHEI reiterated its commitment to advocating for justice and accountability, saying, “We will continue to advocate for the rights and dignity of all Nigerians, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or geographical location.”
