Adeda: Aghomi urges Delta to release inquiry panel report

Austine Aghomi, coordinator of Journalists for Just Development of the Niger Delta, urged the Delta State Government to release the inquiry panel’s report on the death of Unity Ekwevugbe Adeda and publish a white paper explaining its intended action. The two-week deadline for the panel, chaired by Charity Ehimen, expired on October 9, but there was no public confirmation by October 19 that its report had been submitted or released. Adeda’s family and residents of Otovwodo challenged the panel’s composition and independence. A separate police homicide investigation has led to the arrest of suspects, including Secondary Education Commissioner Kingsley Ashibogwu.
