CSOs: Killing of Sokoto female student is despicable... justice must be swift | TheCable

The State of Emergency GBV Movement, a coalition of 10 civil society organisations , has condemned the killing of Deborah Samuel, a female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto state.

A video of the student being stoned and beaten with sticks was shared on social media, and the incident wasIn a statement issued on Friday, the CSOs said the act was a “barbaric, despicable, and criminal gruesome murder by a vicious group of students using religion to justify killing and criminal acts”.“The Constitution upholds the right to life and mandates all citizens to respect the rights and dignity of others.

“Allowing this injustice by a depraved criminal mob to go without prosecution and punishment will enable anarchy in our system and further shred the fabric of our humanity as Nigerians.“We, therefore, call on law enforcement agencies to swiftly apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators, whose faces are identifiable in the now-viral gruesome video.

“This crime was committed within the precinct of an educational institution in a country where girls account for 60% of the nation’s out-of-school children, one of the highest in the world. Without an appropriate response, prosecution and punishment, this incident will exacerbate the insecurity, and lack of safety women and girls in higher institutions already face.

A confessed murdered, security agencies should launch an urgent investigation and bring him to justice

Nigeria is watching

Shocking scenes. How the state government allows this to happen at a citadel of higher knowledge defies logic.

Why not add it to the constitution, and try victims first. Absence is chaos. Have you thought of the impact if same is replicated?. What if someone is accused falsely of same without trial?, straight death. Who gets their side of the story?.

Now they're waking up from their sleep
