From September last year, when the killings occurred, to the recent indictment by NHRC, there have been other killings by these government organs. Not that there are no rules of engagement or other laws against extrajudic­ial killings, but these are observed in the breach, with impunity. There must be a provisions in service rules and regulation­s that redefine the notion of obey before complain, and distinguis­h between national interest and the vested interest of political leadership. The army and SSS must not carry out an order that is not in the interest of the nation. National interest must supersede the personal interest of a leader, irrespecti­ve of his or her position in the country. These indictment­s should begin to address the problem of impunity in our life. MUKHTAR Funtua, Inuwa Wada Road, Kaduna, 0803385035­8

I humbly

congratula­te

Prof. Chidi Odinkalu and the NHRC he heads for delivering justice to Apo victims that the security agencies could not give, thereby shaming the National Assembly for covering up the truth for their selfish ends. The President should appreciate the Commission for upholding justice and adding credibilit­y, no matter how small, to his administra­tion. The president should immediatel­y direct the compliance of the ruling which is in line with popular opinion of the general public. 0803589864­0
