BREAKING: Group submits visa ban petition to EU, US, UK govts against Oyo Police Commissioner, Enwonwu over killing of LAUTECH student in Ogbomoso

Concerned Nigerian, a civil society group has submitted a visa ban petition against Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Joe Enwonwu to the US, UK and EU over extrajudicial killings of Nigerians and clampdown on protesters.

IDOMA VOICE recalls that one Jimoh Isiaka was on Saturday allegedly shot by a police officer during a protest to demand the ban of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) at the Owode Police station in Ogbomoso.

The petition signed by its convener, Deji Adeyanju was submitted on Monday at the head embassies US, UK and EU in Nigeria.

The petition reads below;

Embassy of the United States of America Abuja, Nigeria

AN URGENT APPEAL FOR VISA BAN ON THE OYO STATE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, NWACHUKWU ENWONWU AND MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY

We write to urgently appeal to the United States of America and other development partners of Nigeria to place a visa restriction on the Commissioner for Police of Oyo State, Nwachuwu Enwonwu and members of his family over his handling of the ongoing #EndSARS protest which has led to extrajudicial killings and several human right violations in the state.

Despite the pronouncement of the ban yesterday on the Special Anti Robbery. Squad (SARS), rights violations have continued in the country especially in Oyo state and another citizen was killed there. Freedom of assemble which is one of the pillars of democracy is now almost a crime in Nigeria.

If this request is granted, it will serve as a deterrent to others who continue to toe the line of violating citizen’s rights.

Moil obliged.

Comrade Deji Adeyanjuf Convener
