The Nigeria Police said three policemen have been arrested and are now being charged for the murder of 20-year old Emmanuel Victor. The police had conducted an orderly-room trial which indicted the policemen for the murder of the youngster. However, there appears to be some discontent with the way the matter is being handled. The grieving mother of the slain boy is crying foul that the police authorities have refused to make public the names of the indicted officers. She is expressing serious fears that the wrong persons might be brought forward as the murderers and the culprits left off the hook. She is seeking full justice on behalf of Victor.
It is not unusual to express fears that indicted policemen can be left off the hook in serious crimes like this one. There are several known and unknown cases of policemen getting away with murder. It is our fervent hope that this case will not go the way of others before it. Victor must not die in vain. His blood cries out for justice and the blood thirsty policemen must be made to bear the full weight of the law for this heinous crime.
