The National Council of Women Societies (NCWS) has condemned the murder of Mrs Salome Abuh, the People Democratic Party (PDP) Woman Leader and three others in Ochadamu, Kogi State by political thugs.
The National President of NCWS, Dr Gloria Shoda, yesterday in Abuja, frowned at the killing, saying it was unacceptable.
“The gruesome murder of Abuh by rampaging political thugs in Kogi on Monday is most outrageous and must be investigated to deter future occurrence,” she said.
Shoda lamented that it was the fear of violence that discouraged women from being active in politics and on many occasions, acts of violence, intimidation and harassment were visited upon them and that most times the perpetrators were not brought to justice.
“This fear has now played out before us and we find this wrong and unacceptable and call on the Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu, to conduct a forensic investigation and ensure perpetrators of the heinous act are brought to book and justice is served.
“No one should be allowed to get away with this kind of evil act against a fellow human being and we condemn it in its entirety, “she said.
NCWS also condemned the manhandling of Natasha Akpoti, governorship candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Kogi election by thugs and called for appropriate sanction.
