National Coalition Against Mass Killings, Extra-Judicial Killings, Mob Actions and Impunity (NCAMKI) has demanded justice over the alleged killing of six traders at the Owode Onirin Spare Parts Market in Lagos, by police officers reportedly from Nasarawa State.

The coalition described the killings as “a moral disgrace” and condemned “the continued impunity” surrounding the incident.

According to NCAMKI, none of the officers implicated in the shooting has been properly prosecuted, while some have reportedly been released without charge.

In a statement signed by Interim Administrator, Babatunde Agunbiade, the group said the silence of authorities amounts to complicity and called for urgent action from the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Lagos governor and the attorney-general.

“The killing of citizens, who were simply seeking to make a living, is a moral disgrace to the country,” the group said. “That the killers roam free while grieving families cry out for justice is a crucible test for Nigeria’s democracy. We will not remain silent. We demand accountability now.”

NCAMKI outlined a six-point demand aimed at ensuring justice and preventing future abuses. The demands include immediate re-arrest and prosecution of the culprits; independent investigation in to the matter; compensation for victims’ families; accountability in the chain of command; judicial timelines; police reform and support from rights advocates.

It also expressed solidarity with the Centre for Human Rights and Justice Studies (CHRJS) and human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), who, it said, consistently maintained that “no settlement talks can have legitimacy when blood has been shed.”

The coalition urged Nigerians, including market unions, faith leaders and rights groups, to rally round the victims’ families and pressure authorities to act. It also appealed to international human rights bodies and donor agencies to monitor developments and hold Nigerian institutions accountable.

“There is no immunity from justice,” NCAMKI warned. “The time for talk has passed. The time for action is now.”
