Enamhe said: “Governor Ayade has vowed to fight for justice for late Odama and the killers brought to book.
“The Governor has also mandated the Cross River State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Joe Abang, to mobilise and proceed on with the case, and has constituted a legal team, led by former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Kanu Agabi (SAN), to ensure justice prevails in this case.”
Speaking in the same vein, Ms. Patience Obim, a legal practitioner said the move was to give assurance to Cross Riverians wherever that they have a government and those that can standup for them when their rights are abridged.
