The Muslim Lawyers’ Association of Nigeria (MULAN), Kaduna Branch, has condemned the mob killing of a woman at the Maraban Jos area of Kaduna State.
In a statement issued on Tuesday June 23 in Kaduna, the association expressed shock and sadness over reports of the attack, murder, and burning of the woman following allegations of child theft. It described the incident as barbaric and a serious threat to the rule of law.
It said the circumstances surrounding the incident, particularly reports that the victim was removed from police custody before being killed, raised serious concerns about security procedures and the protection of persons in lawful custody.
The association called for an immediate and comprehensive investigation into the killing. It also demanded the identification, arrest, and prosecution of all persons involved in carrying out, encouraging, or facilitating the mob action, including security personnel complicit on account of conduct.
MULAN extended condolences to the family of the deceased and prayed for peace, justice, and greater respect for the rule of law.
