In a fervent call for justice, the youth of Itagunmodi, operating under the banner of Itagunmodi Frontier, have raised their voices against the recent acts of brutality perpetrated by members of the Nigerian Army.
The victim of this violence is a senior citizen of the gold city, who fell prey to the excessive force wielded by soldiers attached to the Task Force on mining.
The incident has sparked outrage and condemnation within the community, prompting the Itagunmodi Youth to demand accountability and retribution for those responsible for the unjust actions. Led by their Convener, Alapa Oladapo, the youth are resolute in their quest for justice and the protection of their rights as citizens.
It is unacceptable that those tasked with ensuring security and safeguarding the welfare of the populace would resort to violence and intimidation.
The actions of the Nigerian Army in Itagunmodi stand in direct violation of the principles of justice, fairness, and respect for human dignity.
The Itagunmodi Frontier calls for a thorough investigation into the incident, with a focus on identifying and holding accountable all individuals involved in the perpetration of violence against innocent citizens.
Beyond seeking redress for the victims, the youth of Itagunmodi are committed to advocating for systemic changes that address the root causes of such injustices.
This includes reforming policies and practices within security forces to prioritize community engagement, conflict resolution, and respect for human rights.
In solidarity with their fellow citizens and in defense of their collective rights, the Itagunmodi Youth stand united in their demand for justice.
They refuse to be silenced or intimidated and vow to continue their peaceful advocacy until their grievances are addressed and meaningful change is realized.
As they press forward in their pursuit of justice, the Itagunmodi Youth call upon all stakeholders, including government officials, civil society organizations, and the international community, to support their cause and uphold the principles of justice, accountability, and human rights for all. Together, let us stand against injustice and ensure that the voices of the oppressed are heard and their rights protected.
