The Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Amobi Nzelu on Wednesday pleaded with the Independent Investigative Panel on the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad(SARS), to revisit the case of Apo six where young traders were alleged to have been extra-judicially killed by some police officer on the 8th of June 2005, and get the Federal government to pay their families, burial expenses.
Nzelu, counsel to the complainants, (Mr. Elvis Ozor and Edwin Meniru) on behalf of Ifeanyi Ozor and five other (now deceased) informed the IIP-SARS Panel, that the order of the then panel led by Justice Olasunbo Goodluck which directed that N500, 000 naira be paid to each of the deceased family for burial expenses was yet to be obeyed by the federal government.
