Global rights group, Amnesty International has urged Nigerian authorities to ensure that those behind the killing of two policemen in the South-East are brought to justice.
VANTAGE NEWS reports that the two policemen in a viral video were abducted and brutally killed by unknown gunmen.
In a statement released on social media, Amnesty International also condemned the attacks on security agencies in the South-East.
The statement read, “Amnesty International strongly condemns the horrific killing of two policemen in Anambra State which was recorded in a recent video circulating widely on social media. The abduction and gruesome killing of the two police officers clearly shows utter disregard for the sanctity of life.
“Amnesty International urges the Nigerian authorities to act swiftly to find those responsible for these horrific acts or persons suspected of responsibility for the gruesome killings and bring them to justice promptly.
“The killing of the two policemen and the frequent attacks targeting security agencies in the southeast is appalling.
