Youth members of Anambra State Judicial Panel of Inquiry into the allegations of extra- judicial killings, police brutality and other complaints have resigned their appointment.

This, according to them followed the failure of the state government to provide all necessary logistics for the all-important task.

In an open letter addressed to Governor Willie Obiano, and read by Chijioke Ifediora during a press briefing in Awka, the youths regretted that the panel has not been able to reconvene more than six weeks into the New Year, despite that the state has been a cynosure of police brutality, extortion and extrajudicial killings in Nigeria.

The members noted with dismay that the sittings of the panels last year were characterized by inefficiency and poor organization due to the failure of the state government to provide all the needed logistics.

They wondered why government of the state with highest number of petitions in the country, has not shown commitment to the plights and grievances of the youths, which led to ENDSARS protest across the country.

“We are however now convinced now beyond peradventure that the Anambra State Government has no regard for the victims of the many human rights violations by the police in the state. The Government has totally ignored the panel and had simply set up the panel to play to the gallery”

“We firmly refuse to be pawns in the game of the government, so we hereby resign our appointments into the Anambra State Panel and completely dissociate ourselves from all the charade out up to give lip service to the plights of residents of Anambra State”

According to the youths, citizens of the state are already accusing the panelists of conniving with the government  to play over their intelligence, a situation they noted is not healthy for their reputation as youths.

“Many victims of abuse and other interested stakeholders have been communicating the panel Secretariat or its members in a bid to know why the panel is no longer sitting despite more than two hundred and fifty petitions, which have been unattended to. All these inquiries have failed to yield concrete results and the Government despite being aware of the interest of the public is showing no signs of interest in the activities of the panel”

“The undersigned are fully aware that our position expressed in this correspondence may expose us to blackmail and intimidation, but we are determined to say the truth”. He vowed.

In a remark, Ude Chibike Emmanuel, hinted that another round of protest is in the offing if the panel does not reconvene in the next two weeks.

“You can quote me anywhere, if the panel does not reconvene in the next two weeks, you will see us outside there again”.

Apart from Chijioke Ifediora, other youth members who resigned their appointments are: Henry Chibuike Ugwu, Osonwa Chukwuka, Ebelechukwu Ngini and Kas Chibuike Obiwuzie.
