An Islamic human rights advocacy group, the Muslim Rights Concern, (MURIC) has strongly condemned, in strong term, the killing of Felix Olajide Sowore, the younger brother of the convener of Revolution Now and Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore.
The group has consequently tasked the Edo Police Command to find the killers of Sowore’s brother without delay.
The MURIC said this in a statement yesterday by its Director and founder, Professor Ishaq Akintola.
According to the statement, “We, of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), hereby strongly condemn the killing of Felix Olajide Sowore. What is the crime of this student?
“Why must our young brains be wasted in this manner? This is one killing too many. We call on the Edo Police Command to find his killers without delay.
“This kind of tragedy should not be happening around this time.
“We are not unaware of the travails of the victim’s senior brother in the hands of security agencies. It saddens our hearts to learn of this heart-breaking calamity around this time.
“The police must therefore go all out for Felix’s assailants.
“This killing must be condemned by all right-thinking Nigerians. It is a heinous crime. It is wicked, heartless and inexplicable.
“The killers can run but they cannot hide. The long arms of the law must catch them’, the group said.
It will be recalled that the Edo Police Command on Saturday, 4th September, 2021 confirmed that suspected kidnappers killed Felix Olajide Sowore, a younger brother of the convener of Revolution Now and Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore.
Police also confirmed that five other persons were kidnapped during the attack.
