Urge Buhari To Fish Out Killers Of 10 -Year-Old

Convener of Our Mumu dondo, Charles Oputa, aka Charley Boy, has promised personal assistance and that of the platform for family of Mr. and Mrs. Isaiah Ibeanusi.

Oputa made the promise, yesterday, when he led the group, including immediate past Chairman of Human Rights Commission, Prof. Chidi Odinmkalu, on a visit to the family over death of their 10-year-old son, the late Somtochukwu, during demolition of Ekeukwu Owere Market, Douglas Road, Owerri, a fortnight ago by agents of the state.

Oputa, who later led his team to visit those injured during the exercise, and now recuperating at the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, regretted that the young lad was shot on the head. He demanded that President Buhari institute a panel to unravel those behind the killing and bring them to book.

The entertainer said he and his group would see to the end of the matter, wondering why security officers saddled with the responsibility to secure lives would turn round and kill innocent citizens.
