Last Updated: Wednesday, October 27th, 2004 HOME | Previous Page Agebeyegbe: Union cautions police By Victor Ebimomi reporter, Lagos   The Congress of Free Trade Union of Nigeria (CFTU) has charged the Nigeria Police to fish out the killers of Captain Jerry Agbeyegbe, stressing that it would not speak well of their image if the case ends up like that of Chief Bola Ige, Harry Marshall, Aminasoari Dikibo and a host of others before it. In a statement by the General Secretary, Mr. Didi Adodo, the congress asserted that the police have the capacity to fish out the killers “if they are willing to do their job and stop resorting to theatrics”. “ The Police should do their work and help to stop the bad image of the country in the international community through their conducts. They have the capacity to fish out the culprits. Since Captain Jerry Agbeyegbe was mowed down in cold blood by assasins’ bullet on Tuesday, October, 11 2004, we have watched with bated breath, how the Nigerian Police have been handling the investigations with corollary theatrics to fish the killers of the deceased flight captain”, the statement read. It adds: “ We are not surprised that the police have not been able to ferret out Capt. Agbeyegbe’s killers because of the unedifying record of the police not to have ever arrested perpetrators of high profile killings in the past. But we are alarmed that instead of the police doing their job, they have resorted to cheap blackmail”. While calling on President Olusegun Obasanjo to support the police investigations by putting in place all the necessary resources for the task, the congress said Nigerians deserve to know those behind the spate of murders in the country. It added that the late pilot did not deserve to die “like a hapless fowls”, stressing that when he was the President of the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE), he fought for the interest of workers in his industry as a trade unionists of note, “ especially the unbridled sacking of professionals in the aviation industry”.   Copyright� 2004.
