"Once compensations is not kick started or paid before the end of April, I will have no other option than to resign my membership from the Delta State Human Rights Protection Committee as we shall continue to speak for the masses and their consistent plights." Activist Israel Joe.

A Civil Rights Activist, Comrade Israel Joe today urged Delta State Governor, Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa to compensate #ENDSARS victims as he promised or he would resign his membership from the Delta State Human Rights Protection Committee.

Joe made the call in a statement signed and made available to Our Correspondent.

Joe who represents the Civil Society Organizations in the State's Human Right Protection Committee said,"Once compensations is not kick started or paid before the end of April, I will have no other option than to resign my membership from the Delta State Human Rights Protection Committee as we shall continue to speak for the masses and their consistent plights."

He reminded the governor that compensations have not been paid to the #ENDSARS victims as recommended by the Judicial panel of Inquiry into Police Brutality and Extra Judicial killings.

According to Israel Joe,"This has continued to give me sleepless nights since I am the one nominated to represent the Civil Society Organizations in the Human Rights Protection Committee.

"We recalled the words of His Excellency during the inauguration of the Committee on 20th of October, 2021, where he promised to start up the payment for compensating the victims of Police Brutality as recommended by the Judicial Panel of Inquiry."

Joe said the governor is yet to fulfill his promise at this material time.
