According to them, those suspected of being responsible for the killings must be held accountable and brought to justice and Justice for Victims’ Families.
They also called on the federal government to investigate the number of casualties killed, injured and missing during and after the protest.
He said:”Each one of us has been in pain since August 2024 because our sons and daughters were killed by the police.
“We expected the government to acknowledge the atrocities committed by the police during the protest and to bring to justice all those suspected of responsibility for the killings and injuries.
“We all waited and waited but there seemed to be no effort to investigate the police handling of the protest. We are dismayed that we did not receive condolences and not even a sympathy visit.”
Yahaya,who disclosed that some sons and daughters of the parents relatives were part of the protest, but they were killed as the police suppressed the protest ,said they are ready to provide all the information and evidence needed for the investigation.
