first port of call is Nigerian Bar Association, The Lion Bar, Benin Branch
where Barr. Idemudia Osifo received the group on behalf of NBA Chairman Barr.
Pius Oiwoh.
Speaking
to the NBA Group the General Secretary of BSM Esohe Adun stated that one
Justice Imadegbelo of the Edo State Criminal Court II denied justice in the
case of kidnap and brutal murder of a Benin son Etchie adding that the decision
reached at the last court sitting is not favourable to the family of Etchie
despite that one Isaiah Akpani has openly confessed that he is the one that
killed Etchie based on the instructions of one Prince Johnson Atselegh.

that DPP has wrongly applied the instrument of justice by releasing Akpani who
has actually confessed that he killed Etchie. Barr. Osifo advised the BSM
members to be peaceful with their protest adding that they should go the
Ministry of Justice of Edo State where the office of DPP is located. On arrival
at the office of the DPP the BSM members were directed to meet with the Permanent
Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. At the office of the Permanent Secretary
at Ministry of Justice the Secretary to the Permanent Secretary received a well
worded letter and a CD recorder for his boss.

secretariat the BSM group moved down to NUJ, Edo State Council Complex where

Roland Osakwue and he advised them to go about their protest peacefully assuring
them that NUJ reporters will pleasantly publicize their demands to the entire

justice for Etchie because if no justice is given in this case, she claims that
