-Expresses Reservation Over Activities Of “Tiger Base” Operatives
The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Imo State Council has commended the Commissioner of Police in the State, C.P. Aboki Danjuma for exhibiting professionalism and impartiality in the case between the popular radio broadcaster cum human rights activist, Mazi Chinonso Uba (Nonso Nkwa) and the Imo State Police command that arrested him on Sunday, October 20, 2024.
The union in a release signed by Comrades Precious Nwadike and Ori Martin, as Chairman and Secretary, respectively commended the Police Commissioner for ensuring that Nonso Nkwa was charged to court in line with constitutional provisions and rule of law, as requested by the union in a release it issued earlier in respect of Nonso Nkwa’s arrest and detention.
They also implored the CP, to ensure the speedy dispensation of justice as opposed to the pattern of using needless and frivolous adjournments to delay the process, pointing out that justice delayed, is justice denied.
“As a body that advocates the protection of human rights and dignity, we have observed with dismay, the unprofessional as well as seemingly unlawful approaches of your men particularly those attached to the Tiger Base Unit. The actions of some Tiger Base operatives are totally anti people,, inhuman and illegal. We implore you to call them to order by ensuring that they follow your professional footsteps in carrying out their duties. This will surely make them to discharge their responsibilities effectively with respect for humanity and rule of law.
Together we can make Imo State safe by restoring peace and order ”.
