In a statement jointly signed by the chairman, J. A. Onoimoimilin, Esq and secretary, C. Ayemere, Esq, the NBA, Uromi branch, emphasizes the importance of a proper investigation to ensure that those responsible for the heinous crime are held accountable. Additionally, the association cautions law enforcement agencies to exercise restraint in arresting individuals who may be innocent, to prevent further injustice.
