From Yakubu Mustapha Minna
Residents of Eppa Community in Mokwa Local Government Area of Niger state have accused the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) in the Ministry of Justice for allegedly frustrating justice of the charges against the accused persons involved in the ongoing land disputes in the area.
The Community has been in land crisis with Etisheshi community that has led to killing, maiming and destruction of properties worth millions of naira for over four years.
It was reliably gathered that the case file was taken to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) whom they alleged to have exonerated the accused persons of all the charges leveled against them.
The case which is before the Chief Magistrate Court 2 sitting in Minna which sent the case file to the DPP for advise would be left with no option if the accused persons are exonerated, hence stalling the anticipated justice.
An indigene of Eppa Community who spoke on condition of anonymity to some newsmen in Minna, said they are the original owners of the said land whose people were killed, injured and property destroyed.
