Olajide was murdered in cold blood by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers on Saturday in the Okada area of Edo State.

The Nigeria Police Force has told the family of human rights' activist, Omoyele Sowore, that its facility to track the kidnappers who killed Olajide Sowore, Omoyele’s younger brother, is bad.

Olajide was murdered in cold blood by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers on Saturday in the Okada area of Edo State.

Before his death, he was a student of Igbinedion University, Okada, where he was studying Pharmacy.

SaharaReporters learnt that the police authorities told the family of the activist that it was having difficulty to apprehend the killers.

“Police told the family that getting my brother’s killers has been difficult because the tracking facility used to locate kidnappers has been down for some time. They said three of the five victims have escaped from the kidnappers,” Sowore said in an update on Wednesday.

Earlier in the week, Sowore thanked everyone for their support and solidarity.

He had, however, noted that despite the noise from Nigerian government officials promising to bring the perpetrators to justice, the family was not aware of any investigation by security agencies.

“Thank you all for reaching out with great love and kind words of consolation, support and solidarity over the tragic but still unexplained death of my dearest brother, Felix Olajide Sowore.

“I send you loads of gratitude from the bottom of my heart and that of my entire family.

"We should report to the public that despite the noise from Nigerian govt officials promising to 'apprehend' my brother’s killers, we are not aware any security agency/ies carrying out rescue operations to free those purportedly abducted or investigating the identity of Jide’s murderers.

"It is not as if we expect anything from the failed system that took our brother’s life, I feel that I owe you all an update on these matters. We will keep the public updated with progress regarding funeral arrangement,” Sowore had said.

Also, the family had announced the link to the virtual attendance option of the burial ceremony of Olajide.

Taking to his Facebook page on Tuesday, Sowore shared the link to a pre-scheduled zoom meeting which will connect well-wishers to the burial ceremony holding at Ondo State on Thursday.

He wrote. “#Justice4JideSowore ZOOM Burial. Time: Sep 9, 2021 10:00 AM Africa/Lagos Join Zoom Meeting. https://us02web.zoom.us. Meeting ID: 853 8278 1388. Passcode: 563964."

The inclusion of a virtual meeting in the burial arrangement comes as the activist himself has not been granted the opportunity to attend the burial.

Sowore is currently under open detention in Abuja, the country's capital following the court order issued by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu in 2019.

We have been aware of this development decision since time immemorial.. That Nigeria police don always have resources to execute any mission

OKOOO

Will it revive the lost soul? Prevention is always better than the cure, find out all these wicked bandits as you found kanu and Igboho awon Oniranu oshi dede

I recently heard the police has been stopped from tracking kidnappers

The facility to locate the kidnappers is bad.
But the facility will start working with alacrity when it's time to locate some cows in the bush.

We live in a country where institutions of government wear their failure like a badge of honour.

They dont want him to create another protest in remembrance of one year Of #Endsars in next month and treat him in language he understand

They keep budgeting, but their tracking system works when it hears Kanu and Igboho, but on deactivated mode when it involves terrorists and bandits!

What a shame

Hmmm

We should report to the public that despite the noise from Nigerian govt officials promising to 'apprehend' my brother’s killers, we are not aware any security agency/ies carrying out rescue operations to free those purportedly abducted or investigating the identity of Jide’s murderers.

Useless lot.

If we arrange END SARS for them again now, they will start crying upadan.

Police is adequately funded in Nigerian budget

Police still generate almost the amount alorted to them in the yearly budget from roadblocks all over the southern part of the country

The same police collect hundreds of thousands of naira and even millions for bail money which our constitution tells us is free

The same police extort Nigerians that report cases to their various offices in the country in the name of opening case files and fuel money to help them carry out investigations

Yet they are telling us that their equipment is spoilt

What use is police then to us and what do they do with all the money they generate?

Was expecting that before.
Every thing bad ooo.
Even police are evil

Nigeria police force are doing their work intelligently so we comment them for that, pls don't expect them to tell you what they are doing allow them to carryout their work professionally

Okay

It is well

habsydiamond:

they do. they have resources to collect bribe, arrest innocent people, kill and torture them and to run after unarmed protesters

Just imagine statement from the police

If it's to burst innocent people homes or hotel rooms your facility won't be bad .

Lord hope you are seeing

Wait... Is this really a country or a figment of my imagination?

Innocent protesters would have been tracked

Stupid police ..imagine this kind of excuse

But facilities to arrest igbos and label them IPOB and ESN members is always available.
