Civil rights groups, led by Access to Justice, today in Abuja marked the 4th anniversary of the pre-mediated killing of 6 Nigerian youths by officers of the Nigeria Police Force in what has come to be known as the “Apo Six”.The groups also used the occasion to highlight the desperate attempt by the Police Force to hide the truth of the dastardly murder of the youth who were in their prime. Gory details of the findings by the Federal Government Commission of inquiry, headed by Justice Olasumbo Goodluck, led to the prosecution of the officers involved in the extra judicial murder. Four years later, however, the police personnel identified by the Commission as having been directly involved in the murder of the youths are still undergoing a shame of a prosecution, while the former Garki Police Station Divisional Police Officer at that time, Mr. Othman Abdulsalam, escaped from police custody and is unaccounted for. Another suspect, DSP Danjuma, remains in service and continues to draw a salary. He even has a detachment of Police officers guarding his residence at the Wuse II District of Abuja.
