Nigeria Police Kill & Publicly Display Kidnap Suspects Bodies in Eket




Police in Akwa Ibom state killed seven alleged kidnappers and
displayed their dead bodies at their premises for residents
 interested to look at...
From SaharaReportersInvestigations by SaharaReporters
 indicate that the suspected kidnappers were executed by
 the police in cold blood, raising concerns about the legal
powers of the police to act as investigators, prosecutors,
judges and implementers of judgments.Two police sources
in Eket confirmed the incident, and said that the men died in
a routine operation against kidnappers.But a police informant
 told our correspondent that contrary to the official police version,
 the suspects were assembled from different locations and executed
in Eket Police Division“It is shocking and cruel that the police would
execute people without properly handing them over for prosecution,
and then create a mindless exhibition of their bodies,” said a human
rights lawyer in Akwa Ibom. He added that, unless citizens recognized
 the dangers of such jungle justice, the police could easily kill innocent
 people by tagging them kidnappers.Warning...very graphic...i
f you have the stomach,then continue to see the photos..
















This is barbaric and should be condemned. Imagine there
 was an innocent person
amongst them.
 I think the governor of that state should be questioned.
