He has been calling me and also called everyone close to me begging for forgiveness.
WHEN VICTIMS BEG, DO THEY LISTEN?
Today we received the victim in Asaba and assured him of his safety and our support.
We have done the needful by informing the authorities on the illegal activities of Officers Jones in UGHELLI and Environs.
Thanks to Barr Ajuebor Favour and Samson Nwachukwu for following up on this case.
We will keep ensuring safe spaces for the youths and advocating for human rights advancement in Nigeria.
