Rights group wants FG to release White Paper on Orie Ohabiam killing

Aba—AN Aba based human rights group, Human Rights, Justice and Peace Foundation (HRJPF) has called on the Federal Government to release the White Paper on the Presidential Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the killing at Orie Ohabiam, Aba, Abia State. The Commission sat in October, 2005.
Following the controversial death of 32 persons alleged to have been detained in a dark unventilated place by the outlawed Bakassi Boys, both the Federal and Abia State Governments raised two different investigating panels to look into the cause of their death. But the report of the panel is yet to see the light of the day.
Worried by the non release of the report, HRJPF has therefore written to President Musa Yar’Adua, urging him to release the White Paper of the Commission. In the letter signed by the President of the group, Comrade Chidi Nwosu, they said:
“We write to request for a release of the White Paper on the Presidential Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the Killings at Orie Ohabima, Aba, Abia State on August 5, 2008.
“Recall that in October 2005, the Federal Government constituted a panel to investigate the remote or immediate cause or causes of the death of thirty-two, out of thirty-seven innocent people abducted, detained in a dark and unventilated 12/12 dungeon at Orie Ohabiam Electronic Market, Aba, Abia State, and (alleged) tortured with barb wires/machetes by the Abia State Vigilante Group (also known as the Bakassi boys).
